    I think we need an IPB 3 or vB 4 poll on here now. :)

    You know, I don't think we have the vBulletin vs. IPB thread that every other forum has. Maybe it's time to start one? :lol: You know - the one that ends up being 25+ pages long by the end of the week?

    Oh man, have I got some stories to tell you about how many times we've had those on the other place or where I was told to shove my reprimands. :lol:

    :2cents:

    Only my two cents.

    vB4 for the win...

    vB 4, I'm just smiling ready for a debate to let loose. :spin:

    I'm looking forward to both - I'm a license holder for each of the scripts. ;)

    Congrats.

    I am going to least a vBulletin license sooner or later - just waiting for the right time.

    ... which will be soon, I hope. If not, there is a possibility that you will be receiving one for free.

    Perhaps - I'm trying my hardest not to win.

    I'd like someone to win who can't afford a license, hosting and a domain name. I can afford all three of those.

    I'm all for helping those who can't afford such items - hell, I just recently invested thousands of dollars into a host that had the desire to get back up on its feet. I love doing it... money is my thing. ;)

    I don't usually brag [talk about it] my wealthiness, but money is also a strong point of mine...

    I don't spend often, but yeah, I am quite fortunate.

    And I'm sure you're saying, "Well if you're not trying to win, why do you continue to refer new users and such?" Well, the answer to that question is; I am trying to populate this forum as much as I can.

    I tell my friends, my friends tell their friends, their friends tell their friends and the chain continues...

    I *attempt* not to brag about my financial situation, but it always seems to come out regardless... somehow and at some point in time.

    I appreciate what you're doing for this community. Thanks for that. ;)

    It happens, nothing we can do about that...

    No problem, I intend to do more.

    Even if you do win you can feel free to just give the license away to a member of your choice. Nothing says that you have to use or keep it if you win. :)

    This way, you're helping whoever you feel needs it the most.

    Savage sometimes likes to use an inordinate amount of emoticons, as you can see.

    :D
