Anyone keeping count? Anyone care?

V3 came with a huge backlash from many in the community but persisted. V4 probably hit us without anyone even noticing.  Recently folks are complaining about the new profile page look.

Are we at v5 yet?

Meanwhile the mute bots still stuck. Money well spent. At least we've got the look.

Internally the site might be using v-naming but there's no public information about that. One of the purposes of v3 was modularity to allow individual areas to be updated independently.

From what I remember V2 had forum journaling (history logs of posts) which allowed for easier moderation since posts were never really lost.

There was quite an uproar during V3 pushout mostly on the aesthetic feel i believe but it was so long ago
