I dont think its fair to say tha VB sucks. The limitations sometimes lyes in PHP, but vhit the never versions of php in combo whit the latest vb, 3.8, the options to tag and mark threads is much better.
What we also can see comming - and maybe this is what the admin awaits - is the major upgrade to to vb4. This should sort out the shortcomings that vb currently suffers from.
Why so many choose vb? The options for the admins to tweak the forum is just great.
Well the search function does for sure, as the founder of this board stated a couple of posts upOriginally Posted by Franke
And just because a lot of people use it, doesn't make it good - Windows is a perfect example.

True. Only difference is that there´s a ****load of forum engines around, and admins still choose vb. Strange? Not really. It gives the admins the perfect tools for any community, and if somethings missing it can always be solved whit plug-ins. Ok, the search is veird, and it doesn´t work great out-of-the-box, but that can be mastered. Read the manual for 3.8.3 and see for yourself.
Well I don't know much about vBulletin, just that its search function, as implemented in the version that this forum uses, does suck. And commenting on how great it is for admins to use, or provides them with perfect tools doesn't fix vBulletin's search function for me. I am an end user and only care about what vBulletin has done for me lately - being the selfish pri*k I am
Anyway, I'm not going to criticize or complain about it any more.
Goodnight
