This is certainly an interesting development... I sincerely hope that they take the product and improve on it, but it's always hard to tell what a company's true intentions are when they buy someone out.

Either way, I look forward to seeing what comes.

i see some OG coders of vb starting their own version after this fails miserably

I don't see anything "failing" :rolleyes:

Congrats! I do not believe that it will negatively affect the company and its products. If the license and renew price increases, my first reply will be: finally. Because imo it's worth a lot more.

Bodybuilding.com is doing pretty good so far.

Lol, seriously, are you from IPB?

Do you have any evidence or facts to prove why it would fail?

If there's a price hike.. well, IPB has been getting better lately.

If there's a support problem or they start damaging the communities.. I've heard good things said about IPB and phpBB.

Simply put- there's alternatives. vB is great software and I'd hate to have to move, but it might end up being the case that moving is the only option. We can only hope that this will not come to that conclusion.

well might be good. but am surprised that one co-founder has decided to pursue other interests!!!!!

not a good omen

LOL - y'all are funny...

John was already not involved in the day to day running of Jelsoft for a long time. His interest go to other ventures at this time. He made a post on vb.com explaining the reasons why he is leaving.

Oh noes, another religious nut. :o

Not crap at that time. :p
