Zoints sold!
 

Well I knew it would come eventually, but it seems Zoints has been sold. What will this mean for you Zointers? Does it mean the hacks will no longer be supported, as David Chapman has also left! Sad news, but I kinda got the feeling it was a money spinner and nothing more all along.

Not to sure what you mean "it was a money spinner and nothing more " that's like saying vBulletin is a money spinner and nothing more.

I'd always assumed Zoints was a company and wanted to make money. I've used several of their hacks because they offer functionality and features that are of benefit for the users of the forum I admin. If they start to charge for these from now on I'll do what I always do for any modifications I have to pay for - check out their value for money and what they add to the forum community.

Don't see that this will make any great difference really. I only use Zoints Thread Tags which works well for me. I can't imagine they would start to charge for that but if they did I would evaluate its value, as the previous poster has said.

Oh well, congratulations for to the Zoints guys who managed to turn a profit off their venture! Good job. I can see the logic in leaving the group at this point though, heh. ;) But y'know, just wait and see what the new guys do with it. Might be even better now. Might not. Give them credit if it's due...

I've closed my zoints account.
Thanks for the headsup.

Honestly, not a big surprise. They admitted from the beginning that it was a company who's goal was not only to connect forums, but to make money. They made their money by selling it and my guess would be that David Chapman is now working on thinking up a new project, if he hasn't already.

well hopfully the will get there support bach up to par

what the hell is a zoints?

I am disappointed to say the least. Don was awesome and so is zoints. I hope these mods stay the same...
