That statement is wrong. There are MANY forums out there on the internet that use vB 3.5 or older, but they are never hacked. Just because you haven't been on a forum with old software, does not mean that they exist.
vBulletin.org is an example.
This thread isn't about other forums on the internet and what forum system they use, its about PC. And you can't exactly please everyone, so if people don't like the upgrade, they'll just have to live with it. As its been stated, eventually we're going to upgrade, so money will be spent on upgrading to the latest software available. PC's always been one of the sites that likes to keep up to date with the latest security measures. Hell, the administration is even going through attempts to make the Moderator Control Panel more secure since there's apparently something wrong with the security there.
I mean, just because we haven't exactly had any trouble in being hacked, as far as I know, doesn't mean that its not going to happen. And I'm pretty sure we'd all rather be safe than sorry.
But anyway, am I the only person (aside from the default design of v4) who actually likes it? :|
So, points that I felt I needed to state:
1. This is about PC, not another forum.
2. Just because our forum hasn't been hacked doesn't mean it isn't going to happen.
3. PC is all about security of the forum. It's always been that way. Otherwise, there wouldn't be nights where Steve spends literally hours working on things behind the scenes to make it more enjoyable for us and more secure.
4. PC will upgrade (even though that's been stated) whether you like it or not.
5. You can't please everyone, so so what if some people don't like it? If they like PC for PC, they wouldn't care what forum system we used.
Besides, I thought you left and hated everyone here because we're horrible people because we don't baby people?
