    I know, it's a beta and is unstable and all that, but I'm just curious whether anyone tried to upgrade a busy site to vBulletin 5 and saw the inevitable backlash?

    It just seems like something that'd be sort of interesting/amusing to see, don't you think?

    Someone mentioned that vBSI tried to upgrade their normal forum to vB5, but the attempt was aborted after the site being offline for "maintenance" for 5-6 hours, and we got the vb5demo instead.

    They are the only ones I know of that tried to upgrade (obviously it went poorly if they had to cancel the upgrade).

    I wouldn't put it on a live site, especially since the official VB forum is still on vb4. I mean, what would entice me to ruin my community with a beta release, when they haven't done the upgrade themselves? :D
