    The same way there will be tons and tons of security holes found later in PHP 5, after that moves to PHP 6 and is no longer supported. It's nothing new unique to one PHP version, it never is.

    I'm not sure how the contract was set up but I think you have to actually have to start the business within the 12 months to be breaking the contract. Non-compete contracts are also mostly void in California anyway.

    I dont see how this makes "lets roll with PHP 4!" valid point.

    Because no matter with one you use, you can bet there's security holes to be found somewhere. Nothing is perfect after all, and you could be hacked using PHP 5 when one is found, just as you could using PHP 4 now. Even if currently being supported, but not plugged yet. I don't see how people think, just because they use latest version means they are completely invulnerable to attack.

    You cant be serious.

    If I use PHP5 when there is vulnerability found, its fixed in matters of hours and I can download bugfix. When vulnerability is found in PHP 4 you cant because its no longer maintained. Thats BIG difference.

    Futher explanation of your logic: I have two dogs, one is dead and other is not. You say the dead one will guard my house as good as living one because living one is dog and will be dead eventually too. LOL

    There may be a chance we'll see a new version of XenForo released today, I'm seeing Kier and Ashley present online and today is also Tuesday. From what I've read, don't they tend to make new releases on Tuesdays and it's been a while since seeing both online there.

    So who knows, something might just be coming today?
