vBulletin is Really Pissing Me Off

[David Jackson]

For months, I've been compiling content, so that I'd be all ready to go when I downloaded my vBulletin software. All of a sudden, VBulletin throws a monkey wrench into my plans.

Let me explain: All I want is a forum with a built-in blog - that's it. No fancy CMS Publishing Suite loaded with options, no whistles and bells - just a forum and a blog. That's all I want.

Anyway, VBulletin just informed me that in order to get the forum and the blog together, I have to purchase the new 4.0 version, which is a CMS Publishing Suite. The price is pretty reasonable, but that's not the problem.

Here's the problem: I NEVER buy the newest version of anything. I prefer to buy previous versions, until all the bugs have been worked out. Unfortunately, if I want the VBulletin product, I have to play by their rules - even if that means buying a product that may have a ton of bugs.

Hmmmmm...maybe I should take a second look at phpBB, or some other forum software. Sorry for the rant!
