I will NOT be upgrading.... I also just upgraded a little over a month before they announced 6.0
If I'm reading correctly, vBulletin will no longer provide updates for the life of the product, but just the first year from purchase.
That's a bold decision. It's on par with the other paid products now, but that perpetual support was a differentiator when we made our platform decision.
I understand the business decision, but it's going to leave us with a decision to make, too.
Do we move beyond 5.7.5 and open our wallet a second time, and again on an annual basis to get updates? Assuming there are updates?
Or, do we look at open source alternatives?
