    They're really working hard on making vBulletin 5 a decent product. Has there been any updates on their URL changes or anything just yet? I'm still waiting to upgrade.

    I think hell will probably freeze over before you can ever class vBulletin 5 as a 'decent product'.

    Is vBulletin 4 decent? Well I guess you might class it as the low end of default...

    But IPB and XenForo are still leagues ahead of either.

    I've seen some successful sites run WWWboard, but that doesn't mean it's decent software. Hell, GameFAQs is a successful site, but that doesn't mean its forum software doesn't suck.

    That is your opinion, though IMO it will be far greater than XF and other softwares when it is done. I think its safe to say vbulletin are working hard to making it a very decent product. vB4 was crap back in the day, but it is pretty good now isn't it? :)
