Yes, and No.

The sale happened. Godaddy does not own IB [or vB]. In simple terms, the same parent company owns both.

I disagree. IMO the largest issue is that many of the people that made vb 3 & 4 mods have left and gone to another software platform. I see it all the time, you check when the developers was last on vb.org and its been months or longer.

And a big part of the reason for that is that there's no plugin system for them to work with.

Any idea why the plugin system was removed from the software?
No, plugins are deemed important to the modding community. I only know this because the modding community themselves have said so.

I do not know the thinking behind removing them. Technically they weren't removed, they just weren't weren't built into the new vB5 code.

It's possible to write add ons without them but it's harder and it's quite a learning curve.

Very well said. Could not agree more.

The learning curve can't be that bad, but I'm speaking as a person with a CS background that will finish up the CS degree fairly soon. :cool:
Your seeing conspiracy theories where none exist.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the end result, the original intention was to make things better. It always is.

Zachery, like myself, is just explaining how best to help drive such change forward.

Neither he, nor I, nor any of the support team, actually make such decisions.

What I will say, is that it's surprising how much change HAS been effected, by doing things via the 'right' channels. Voting is a part of that.

Secondly, vb5 was supposed to make things better, but it is evident that it came with sacrifice and change.
Cynical it may be, I'm merely observing that it is also wrong. :)
