Hey,
Good question, a couple of years ago IB froze what ever version was current. Going forward to make software changes to meet the specific needs of the communities, desktop, mobile, the 6000 lb gorilla Google, European laws ect. and the technical support group. The purpose is to make software changes to VB then scale up for 100+ communities with fewer bugs. I believe IB is planning to add some of the new features found on other forum software, but no firm dates yet.
I doubt we will see a change from VB in the future but I would welcome some of the newer forum software packages or neat features added to our VB version. BTW, last I checked IB owns VB.
Did that answer your question? Thanks!
Bob

Who's doing technical backend stuff for you guys? Is it just you or someone from IB?

With Patreon, Kickstarter and Indiegogo, funding things you care about has already become a pretty standard thing. Im sure we can easily cover hosting costs purely based on donations.
Man id love to host the server on a private US box, get rid of the requirement for a paid vendor title to sell stuff on the forum, and get rid of advertisements. Especially if there's not a lot of activity, why try and capitalize on it?
With all this said, the chance IB LLC is going to give up control of the forum is like 0.00000000000001%

Yeah, my friends use Patreon. Their YouTube channel only has about 1,000 subscribers, but they bring enough to keep the weekly vids as long as their "Street Racing Chronicles" and other vids being produced. It's a pretty sweet gig. Just three, regular adults talking regular car stuff. No ghettoness or other B.S.
Thank you!

So looks like Boostin's at it again with the multi-thread spam lol. I hate my new posts list getting cluttered with multiple ads one after the other from these guys.
