No need to sound so ominous. Howdy!
This place has more activity than the "new" site.
Proof as to why I would never completely turn the website over to anyone, because sooner or later they would let if go to shit. Does it matter at this point, probably not to 99.9% of people but it's always been a pet peeve of mine. Their newest forum problem is a result of PHP being updated on their web host. It would take all of 2 minutes to resolve the conflict between their forum version and the new PHP version but it's been like that for months.
Multiple solutions available
1) Turning off PHP error reporting
2) Remove "& new" so it just says "new" in the offending files. If the file says
$vbulletin =
& new vB_Registry(); Change it to
$vbulletin = new vB_Registry();
3) Run an update on the forum software so it wont conflict with the newer PHP version
Option 3 would take some time and effort but either of the 1st two would be quick simple fix.
