Its very easy to see what this "new" version is really about.


Why call it 6.0 when not much has changed?  Because it gave them the opportunity to make a huge change to licensing. They have a large number of perpetual licenses that have been able to keep upgrading to the latest VB 5.x version for over a decade. If you have a perpetual VB license, go into the Member Area at vbulletin.com and you'll see you cannot download 6.0.


To use the latest VB you would need to purchase a new license - there's no upgrade option there.  And then annual renewal payments.


This also allowed them to jettison maintaining the VB 5 mobile app, which will no longer be available after the VB 5 maintenance period ends in 11 months.
