Will this site ever upgrade to vBulletin 3?

Any time soon? Hopefully they're testing the forums on a vBulletin 3 already

It is much more powerful, and I hope that this site will be running it instead of this very outdated version of vBulletin, soon.

We have been over this before in here several times. Its not quite as simple as just upgrading due to the fact this site has so many hacks on medals, members - custom tweaks, front page etc etc. quite alot to take into consideration as well as making sure downtime is to a minimum.

We have other packages in mind as well, not just VB3, so really all I can say in answer to this question is .. "maybe" as for a time no idea.

Yeah I know what needs to be taken into consideration for upgrading major versions of vBulletin - I do it for a living

But also, there are actually advantages to using vB3 compared to vB2 (

) there are a lot of new features, it's easier to code with, and it's the next generation anyways. Maybe just something to thnk about then
