Kier is promising yet another release of new features tomorrow (Saturday). It's like the last few days prior to Christmas, lol

That would appear to be the case lol. They finally did release an announcement this morning

Heh, that took them a while .

Anyway, looking forward to more features here.

seems far too many features are being added thus slowing down the basic product. I've said before that some friends of mine stil run vB2 cos they don't like vB3+ cos they claim it's overblown with stuff you don't need and slows down the forum.

Agreed. The new features should be released as plugins/products imo.

There are alot of sites that still use the vB2 versions. It's much a much lighter sever load. :p

True, if your site doesn't need a lot of mods vB 2 is still the best option.

or if you mod happy then you may want v3 i think they should like to releases of it like core pack and budled pack and that kind of thing so you can choose whats on your forums..
