No. As for the 'point', its that they are completely incompatible. Vanilla 2 was rewritten from the ground up, and the old plugins no longer make any sense in the new structure. Sorry!
@Tim Okay, not to be rude but as a suggestion. When guys start to work on Vanilla 3, you should include say a application that runs Vanilla 2 applications or plugins. More or less like Apples Universal guaranty. I think a lot of people will support something like that. It would sure make upgrading to Vanilla 3 more easier.
@Tomtom100 I understand you, but V2 is completely rewritten together with the plugin API and everything. It's like when you would like to add phpBB plugin to Vanilla. It is so different, that it is easier to write completely new addon. I don't know what are plans for V3, but I humbly suppose it would be not that difficult to update V2 addon for V3 when and if V3 is released.
