Please hear me out VBsolutions.
 

I understand you guys need money to fund development.

But please hear me out. Okay? I've been a longtime* and I mean a really heavy supporter of vB* and I've only recently bought my first vbulletin license just a year ago.

I planned to buy more than 5 vbulletin licenses for my forum network. I planned to aggregate these forums into niche websites.

Now* understand that this economy has been really hard on me. I'm living in california* finding a job is HARD right now.

I was excited that you guys made the long-awaited changes* but my smiles went from happy to a big fat frown. Because your team didn't give me enough time to scrape together 130 bucks and re-buy vbulletin by buying vB4 suite - my upgrades service expires next month - so I'm left with no other options. Basically I'm screwed because I'M losing support NEXT month. I basically can't keep my forum secure.

When I saw the announcement about vB4 goin' on sale* I asked myself "how much is it!? I'll buy! I'll buy!" Then I saw the price: "Are you crazy?" This is no time to be dropping a bombshell* internet brands!

Okay* so I keep my cool when I saw the pre-sale event* what's the price tag? "130 bucks" Okay* sounds reasonable. My first instinct is to buy it. But I see the date when it expires: "Man* that's not enough time!" To me* its like a kick in the face.

I would have been FINE if you guys gave us some time and room to find the money and buy your product. You DO want more customers* right?

Basically* right now* I'm stressed out and really upset that vb4 [pre]sale ends TOMMORROW. I bet you guys are laughing and giggling with each other about making more money* and stressing everyone out.

I love vbulletin* but I can't afford it. I think Internet Brands/Vbulletin Solutions wants to reach rich people* and doesn't care about anyone else.
