I can be very forgiving, but please don't test my forgiveness.
I thought the project had been abandoned as someone else mentioned, and started to look into the vBlog.

Jim - nice for you to help them man. SirA - Get on the ball and make us proud!

Register.com replied saying the transfer may take 5-8 days. We are just waiting on it to go through.

I buy branding free products always meaning in this case I spent $100, I spend allot of time researching and asking questions before I buy products, I did the same with vBlogetin, everything on the site indicated that this was going to be a well supported and well updated product. To be honest I like the software but once VB announced that they had a BLOG coming out the development and announced updates seemed to grind to a stop, week after week nothing but its going to be out next week, then there is the “we are working on other projects thing”. I don't know perhaps it’s just me but I am getting rather sick of buying premium (not free) products and then seeing them put on the back burner while the authors work on the other “bigger better deal” things. If I did that with my clients I would be out of business in a week. I really hope that vBlogetin gets it together soon, and delivers on what is expected of a business and a product that they are “Selling” However if your not going to get behind your product fully then offer a refund to the poor saps that bought into the hype of a fully completed and actively upgraded product, I for one don't enjoy paying for abandoned or back burner BETA products.

Jelsoft announcing a blog means that we have to make other products in order to keep revenue coming in, otherwise I'd have to take on other jobs. I don't want to live in a tin shack. As for bigger better deal things... no, much smaller things. Two quite small projects that are unique enough to have little competition, yet small enough to not take away too much time from vBlogetin.

Personally I wouldn't have done any further work beyond the very basics until I'd seen what I was up against. Then I'd pick it up again and deliver the goods. Granted it would arrive much later, but nevertheless everybody wins.

I'm watching this project with renewed interest, since what I've seen from the official project has been, IMO, grossly disappointing so far. It couldn't be any more bog-standard if it tried.

We didn't care what vBulletin blog had to offer - we continued vBlogetin without worrying about it too much, but to be safe we had to start another project to make sure we can keep doing this. As for features, it currently looks like we have quite a few more at the moment. The actual thing that hurt is that it's official.

Anyway, to repeat myself again. We are still working on it, and are just waiting for the transfer to go through. I'm not happy with it bieng down either, but hopefully it comes back soon. It went down on July 4th, so the earliest it would be up (according to them) is tomorrow.
