01.03.2024 Some people ask me: why is it taking me so long to do PHP 8 support for vbulletin. My answer: this is a really big project because vb developers did not use some good practices when programming (ex, defining the variables before using it). Besides, this is not my primarly job. And I'm not in a hurry. For me it is much more important to make a quality product than to release it asap.
