Besides, it's now a far inferior product compared to the strides that dbseo has been making regardless.

Its not inferior, its similar and outdated but I'm going to hit you all with one more see below lol.

It almost seems like the owner of VBET and DBSEO have some type of disagreement going. <--- That was actually the deciding factor because the geotargeted translations actually increased our traffic by 89%.

There's other things too like rich snippets and etc. For now VBSEO is something we've decided to patch. The owner at Dragon Byte didn't seem open to any of our suggestions/needs for future development and we needed a comprehensive solution for this version.

Ok I need to clarify something, so its understood from here on out:

vBSEO is dead, it cannot be "patched" as there is no ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT TEAM BEING PAID TO WORK ON IT, this does not exist. I don't know who the heck you guys and gals keep getting to "patch" your versions of vBSEO but believing that someone can upkeep a security prone and outdated software is a stretch of the imagination and assuming you're safe and secure on your now "patched" version of vBSEO makes me cringe quite honestly... I'm afraid for you even if you're not afraid yourself, follow the logic now?

Now, can they point out current issues and exploits in your installed version? Sure, anyone could do that and call it a "patch" if they review the code but since I'm not on the now dead vbseo development team, I'm not being paid to do so then why trust someone who happened to see a few issues and charged you for patching... no dev team exist and one person is not a team, mentioning DBSEO - they have a team. This is not "find a nulled version online and use hahahahaha we win" type of situation nor is it "we payed for it, they went out of business its our right to use it" sure its your right however wouldn't it serve as a reminder of some sorts to all of you that, you're attempting to continue using a product that does not receive security updates? Furthermore that company WOW they left a exploit in the software for over a year what else did they miss? What pro can PATCH your vBSEO? NO ONE, not one and if you have one confident enough to charge you have them post here exactly what was done so others can point out what they missed.

I'm sorry, I know that sounded a little off the wall and like I was riled up, I was - I fear for many of you who simply justify how/why its ok to keep using it. *cries inside*
