I just saw an old post about firefox 13 and was like, "I thought we were on 11...and that is an old post" I went to check and realize I am on 18?  ?? Since when did Firefox release every 10 min? I thought for sure we were on like 4 just a few years ago...

Yea, after version they really kicked it up notched with their version updating. It's so that new features come out faster. I believe Mozilla seen Google did it with Chrome and took it into their own browser too. Edit: I made this post using Internet Explorer 9.0 in the library.

Yep. They took on a more rapid development style. It's very common place with any form of software on the web... hoping other things take advantage of this as well.

They have already said they plan to roll out smaller amounts of features in more frequent increments (v5.x as they call 'em).  So, yes.

They push a new version of Fx every six weeks, regardless of whether or not anything note-worthy was added. Most of the changes are so minor that you barely even notice them, but they do add up. Compare the overall speed, responsiveness, and features of Fx 15 to Fx 16, and you'll probably give up and say they're the same thing with different version numbers. But compare Fx 18 to Fx 10, and you'll notice an eyebrow-raising difference.

And because waiting for something note worthy makes the developments accumulate instead of getting them out the door to the user as fast as possible.

Yea...I can see why they do that  PB definitely doesn't look great for not having upgraded in a while, but I seriously doubt they would have an awesome forum like V5 without waiting a bit Helps that they finally hired more staff too. Used to be just 5 people. Now they're close to 10 or 15 I believe.

10 to 15? Funny, I always imagined proboards as bigger than that... They don't manage their own servers (in terms of hardware.) They contract with the Planet for that. So that takes off a huge load.
