Now* we will be paying $195 for 18 months (without ticket support). That's more than double the price* and is missing the ticket support. So pay more* get less. That's backwards. It should be pay less* get more.

So someone tell me how vBulletin is doing us a favor? They are trying to make it look like "hey* you get vBulletin for the entire long life of 4.x for a one time fee and no annual renewals" when really VB5 will be here in record-time compared to previous versions. In order for the $195 price tag to be a deal* would mean VB5 would have to be over 3 years away.

I just thought I'd point this out* because a lot of people are really thinking this new "no annual renewals" will save them money* when in reality it will cost you 2x as much.

In what way have they NOT screwed us over? In what way have these changes brought upon any positive changes? :mad:
