vBadvanced Gallery - where's it vanished to?
 

> went to vbadvanced.com

> was directed to photopost.com

> no mention of it in 'products'

???

I read there was some 'forced' take-over, but why stop selling it? I prefer it to photopost (it's much better imo) and am a bit peeved it has been gobbled up and shat out like this.

Do they think they are doing themselves any favours for treating a well-liked product and it's users like this?

Has anyone else boycotted photopost as a result?

Is anyone else annoyed it is no longer under the care of the person who nurtured it?

:down:

I just downloaded it from photopost 2 days ago :)
works good with 3.5.4 :)

Eh? What forced take over? Do tell!

Photopost started court proceeding and Brian settled out of court and gave them the Gallery. I can't comment further than that as only Brian knows what really happened 100%.

This is just posted as 'speculation' (as we wouldn't want to cross any legal boundaries), but I guess the big fish (photopost) thought they would take the little fish (vbadvanced gallery) to court, possibly over something that would be hard to prove - like copying/stealing tiny bits of code (in other words a costly, prohibitive, hard to disprove court case for a small fish).

Thing is both the 'hacks' code/files were availible for everyone to see, so if there was any real code-theft going on, it would have been raised at sites like this one ages ago... (but of course that never happened, think the reason why is obvious - it was unlikely that a real rip-off took place).

Anyway, I'm peeved that there is no mention of it on their homepage under the 'products' section, it's one thing it was 'taken' from its rightfull owner but another it being killed off completely! :ermm:
