Dear Caudata.org Member,

As many of you are aware, we use the forum software "Vbulletin". Recently the company that manufactures it was bought out and they have re-targeted their business model, resulting in a distinctly different approach to how their software ticks and how they market it.

They are about to release version 4.0 of their software next week and I am writing to tell you that I currently have no plans of moving to version 4.0. Many hours of research over the past 6+ months have led me to conclude that version 4.0 is not a smart avenue as it stands right now. I don't like the licensing changes and I don't like what they're trying to do with the software. I can't see either changing in the near future, so for now I intend to avoid version 4.

If you've any questions, feel free to ask in this thread.

Thanks for your time,

-John

Does this simply mean that the software will not be upgraded at this time or does it mean that a migration to a new system is ahead of us?

The software will not be upgraded at this time. However I can't rule out a migration to a new system in the future and I include vbulletin 4 in that description "new system".

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
