Nah. At some point the people who made vBulletin sold it to a company called "Internet Brands", who then proceeded to puke out vBulletin 5, which is quite awful (in my opinion).
Those people who made vBulletin then started a new company... called XenForo. So as you might guess things
should be fairly familiar, apart from the fact that XenForo is much newer.
That said XenForo doesn't contain some of the features (by default) that vBulletin did. While users+forums+threads+posts will be easy to convert to the new software, basically everything in the "Community" menu (see top menu) will be much more difficult to keep.
There is also a lot of stuff we added ourselves (like customs BBCodes) that we need to convert over.
