When did all this start to happen?

Approximately what day was the new licensing structure released?

It has been so long I've forgotten.

 

Officially October 13th:

Some answers to important licensing questions
*--> Announcing the Presale Event for vBulletin 4.0 Suite and Important License Changes
Pre-Sale offer for customers with expired licenses

 

Some of us found out about it May of last year

 

Thank you both.

I'm digging through some threads in the IP forums, and was curious what time frame the vb users may have been switching.

 

And apparently, some random person every knows about says you're a fake user for posting this.

 

Don't worry about it. The said fool has no idea what he's talking about, and you're just giving him the attention he craves. Just drop it.
