OK I only have 2 forums on the go, both phpbb and thankfully I did not use any mods for the exact reason you state. Both being fairly new and light useage gave me that opportunity not to mod them extensively and they serve their purpose but if it is ready (which it must be) then release the damn thing and let us get on with trying to work with it.

The added bonus of course is it doesn’t cost anything whereas vBulletin does so maybe that would be an argument but is it a valid one, I don’t think so and like you, many others may say for the nominal amount that they charge for either leased or owned, it may well be worth shelling out $85.00 (hmmm it’s not a nominal amount really is it!!! $160.00 for owned) but I think you will see where I’m coming from.
