Forumon is a very time/energy intensive piece of work to update/improve. It was probably either the most, or second most, labour-intensive mod we have ever created. Despite that huge initial time investment, it hasn't proven as popular as we would like, and it remains one of the mods with the least feature requests from customers.

The proliferation of free-to-play MMO games has led to a significant decline in the popularity of single-site solutions like Forumon. Unfortunately we cannot afford to just commit months of time and resources to an unpopular mod. If that changes, and/or existing customers come up with feature requests that we can implement in a reasonable time-frame, we shall.

We have amended the original post to remove that wording, since it is inaccurate at the moment. Thanks for pointing it out.

I actually understand your position, and i am one to speak my mind on how i might feel about something. I agree with you that a system like this ain't as big of a thing as it once was, so there is no good reason for you to invest so much into it. It's just kind of depressing to see such a good idea for a community go down a dark road, but some may call it progress. I would like to see this finished up with pvp and questing, and then it would be complete imo but on the other hand i totally understand your position.
