Don't know where you are coming from but in my world users do not recognize a thing from it when done properly and all functions are still supported in the newer version. Downtime is no option for a pay-for forum software!

Read again! If branded Maemo it will stay here! If not branded Maemo it will not merge into MeeGo forums as those are for MeeGo and not for any derived distros. Maybe the infrastructure of maemo.org will stay but get renamed and hold the then "old" Maemo and it's rusty remains.

SSO is another "requested ages ago" issue! *remind* But has nothing to do with a vBulletin upgrade in general.

I don't know if vBulletin can be easily upgraded from inside itself without access to the filesystem.
