Wasnt the best, but now its amazing When vbulletin5 first released in like 2012.. it was TERRIBLE Full of bugs, and extremely slow However 10 years later, the product is SOOOO much better, most bugs are gone, and its alot more stable and smoother, its probably the best forum software I have used, and I would urge others to use it, they have done alot to turnaround the buggy product, and now its probably the most polished software out there. Support is amazing, and the software is amazing. Thanks to the vb5 team!

Once upon a time... ...and as some have already mentioned, vBulletin WAS a good company! I've owned very version of their software since v2. I have been considering purchasing vBulletin 5 Connect to host a new interactive website I intend to launch. Today, before acting on that thought, I did a quick Google search to get an idea of what other vBulletin customers have to say about their newest release. I was disturbed, to say the least, to have found this thread. I've feared for some time now; probably since IB purchased the brand, that vB was going downhill. After reading the reviews here and at a couple of other sites, my suspicion seems to be confirmed. I would contribute more to the conversation, however, those things would only reiterate many of the points already made. I also own multiple prior releases of vBulletin software, which I plan to use until they discontinue support. Meanwhile, perhaps something will happen to make them "see the light" so to speak. I gave vBulletin 3 stars, based only on past performance. Perhaps I am an eternal optimist, but I believe they still have a chance to make a comeback. I am curious to know if others have found good alternatives to vBulletin, and, if so, what they are?

Scam website Scam website that refuses to let me cancel my account. Ive had to change all my banking details to stop them taking money for my cancelled subscription Use alternatives

Scammer Company. Scammer Company. Purchased an License and only had alot of issues with the idiot support. it was the last time i have purchased an license from this guys. There are no instructions for new members in the support area. only outdated tutorials wich lead to nothing.

Don't use Don't use I decided to use some other forum engine as this software is very outdated, support is nonexistent and better engines exist. Looks like the company has no plans for addressing these problems. The support guys are silent on the case too.
