Josh, I am not here to argue nor make excuses as depicted above, rather state the reasoning for my absence, whether it be understood by all or not.
I do not believe my absence from this site has done harm to the vBulletin product or site in general as we were not even linked to until a short while back, all traffic to the site was directed by way of word of mouth, through other members linking to the website, through search engines and the like.
While I am more than greatful for what Jelsoft/vBulletin has done for both myself and the website as a whole, I don't belive I am soley to blame for a lack of traffic, Wayne. As you can see from the posts here, the license system here is short of being 100% as it takes some members 1-2 days to even become noticed here at vBT, as opposed to it being instant at vBulletin.org; this is even with me running the link John provided to me to update the database.
A non-working system does deter users from visiting and does cut traffic and while I cannot say it is 100% non-working, users having to wait 1-2 days to become licensed on this site soley.
Now, I have said all I honestly can. I do apologize for the lack of updates and my leave of absence, but I am working the best I can to work on adding staff to the site and will continue to do so, but until the license system is working 100% as it *seems* to be at vBulletin.org and vBulletin.com, I don't believe I am the one soley to blame.
I will work to improve and upgrade the site, but again, as in the e-mail, if you feel John or James needs to e-mail me, they are free to do so.
