I guess that means that they didn't bother upgrading / patching anything (lol) and the site is liable to get hacked at any moment.
It's vBulletin FFS...The home page, and forums are not truly Mobile compatible. Sure they fit into a mobile screen but having to enlarge pages just to see content, is the pits.
Aside from the fact the vBulletin's SEO mod was put out to pasture, there's many other reasons why CM, ADG and a lot of other forums switched to XenForo. Frankly, the GPWA didn't give two hoots about changing over to SSL (aka https), and that not having SSL meant members were logging in unsecured.
It wasn't until Google announced it may/would devalue a site if it was not SSL, that the GPWA.
Within 48 hours it was changed to https. Again, more proof members are only cannon fodder, used to gain larger sponsorship dollars. It's never been about members welfare at the GPWA. Least not since MC's had it.
