Purevb is still working ?
 

Hello i purchased a theme on purevb for vb 5 but after payment i relised theme was for old version of vb not compatible with my forum .

i tried to submit support ticket but i got errror i am unable to submit ticket

then i tried to send email but both emails bounced then i tried to contact via facebook page but no one replied i want to confirm if they are still alive because last update in April:mad: 2015

As you can see, things which are related to forum are nearly dead. So you should check carefully all the information before buying. If latest support questions or updated time to now is more than 3 months, it is done.

Not only PureVB but DBTech, ProVB, almost every brand and coder have gone inactive, even this vb.org forum.

I just miss old days of forum so I'm visiting every forum that I remember (if they're alive), in free time now.

vbulletin.org is a free site though w/ volunteers, those others you listed are paid mods/support sites so there is a clear difference on what support given, is expected based on that aspect alone.

Good advice though, check for activity on their site before purchasing... did someone else purchase then make an inquiry only to be overlooked? I'd find that questionable, in the end it would be best to contact any developer directly before purchasing to ensure all questions are answered and that serves as a record if you have to open a dispute on paypal or similar.

Purevb is dead. Do not purchase from them. Last time I purchased, they didnt let me download the theme. I had to issue refund to Paypal and my dispute was granted by Paypal.

PureVB wont respond to any email. I think their new website is Themeyard, which is also unresponsive.
