Because:
- It takes time.
- Osay is a busy man.
- Osay is a lazy man.
- And now that VB5 is out Osay doesn't seem certain which would be better.

All of the above.
Also xenforo 3rd party plugins/mods are ridiculously lacking. By itself xenforo is 10x better than VB, but there would be nothing to add on to it like good shop systems or other fun/useful stuff that we take for granted on vbulletin.
So now aside from being busy and lazy I'm also letting VB5 and xenforo 3rd party devs battle to the death for a while to see which platform will offer what I want.

Oh that's BS, I get banned for 3 days for just mentioning this but splat gets off without even a warning for asking about it.

Why the fuck would anyone get banned for asking about XenForo?
You are not being serious and I am just wasting my time, right?
If you ARE serious, then just PM me if you wish, and don't derail this.

Is it bad support for plugins (as in, harder to make) or just the lack of popularity of the forum software?

It's a joke. Although I did get banned for SOMETHING, don't know what, Juno said he was looking into it.
As for the new forums, how much is the navigation of the site going to change?

I think it's just lack of community / popularity.
VB has a whole website dedicated to 3rd party devs. Xenforo is trying to have it all on their main website.

The navigation should be pretty similar regardless of which platform.

Considering 80% of the VB releases are insecure poorly written garbage done by idiots, and heaven help me I say that
as someone who releases stuff on said dev site, you're better off doing anything you want from scratch anyhow, so almost seems a moot point. Do it from scratch in system that is itself crap vs do it from scratch in system that you feel is already 10x better.

I'm not a developer and considering this place makes just enough ad moneys to stay online I'm not hiring one either.

You're better off sticking with what you have in that case and making the most of it. Development is not something I'd recommend outsourcing to someone else for something like a fansite, it rarely ends well.
My offer from last year still stands though.

I'd rather we have shops and cool stuff while we wait than be limited, honestly, Osay.
It's a little unfair, don't you think?

Would it be more fair to not waste your gold on stuff you have a 99% chance of loosing later, or to go ahead and waste it now? I'd go on a massive banning spree if people were to bitch about that after the upgrade.

Honestly, if we won't even be able to have pets on Xenforo, then why stockpile the gold, ya know?
