Then why not start bitching to Erik and Bob to demand fixes from them, instead of just throwing up your hands and saying there's nothing you can do?
What are they going to do, kick you out? They clearly have no interest in running this place themselves, and who else are they going to find to run a forum based on a platform that virtually every other forum abandoned?
They should have noticed when VerticalScope, the largest operator of Internet forums (600+ of them), took a look at the new vBulletin, said "Oh, hell no!" and ran away to XenForo.
