data breach? stop using EOL forum version
maybe u could had prevented the hack if u actually didnt use a outdated vbulletin version that is EOL already? vbulletin doesnt support 3.8.7 (which this site is using) so any security exploits posted on net wont be fixed by vbulletin company.

Re: data breach? stop using EOL forum version
The fact that an older version of vBulletin is being used has been discussed before and the discussion explains the reasons. I'm not saying that they are the most valid reasons, I'm just saying this has been discussed before. If you can find that thread, you will see the reasons. Just an FYI.

From what I recall, most of the reasons were of the "we don't like change" type.

Considering how big this community is, I believe there should be changes, as in, vBulletin should be upgraded and the customizations redone.

I know, it's easy as a normal user to have the opinion that stuff should change, but considering it's all free work such thing is likely not to happen. I would like a change too, it would be nice to see something different, but to be honest the forum does it's job quite well, and people are familiar with it. So with all that work that has to be put into it, the gains are just too small. |

I never said the staff has to do it.

vBulletin does indeed still support 3.8.x, in fact they just patched it on March 13 2014

As I replied to you on Reddit:

We've been evaluating moving away from vB 3.x for a very long time now, we're not ignoring the issues, but spreading FUD like blaming this issue on a vB 3.x security bug doesn't help anyone. |
