The original (and utterly fantastic) developers of vbulletin are starting their own new forum software. You can see it here:
XenForo Community
Supposedly it will be priced comparably to the other softwares out there (IB, VB).
If I can raise the money, I will definitely be switching at least AD over to it when it's released (they say by the end of summer).
It's forum software without the bloat and slowness that became VB (and the bs).
So it's something for you to start thinking about, whether you might want to switch over to it. 3.8.7 will be the last vb 3.x version of vbulletin (sorry I'm still not sure whether that $30 thing will allow you ONLY 3.x or 4.x too). (We're on 3.8.5).
We don't know prices or anything like that yet, but I just wanted to give you a head's up so you can start thinking about what you want to do going forward.
