It is vbulletin.org policy not to have a release thread with no modification files in the release forums after a certain length of time. Otherwise, the thread would be continually bumped by users asking what happened to the release and/or coder, and the forum would be much harder to navigate through with many "dead releases".

We try our best.. However, after recent events certain things will be reviewed.

I cannot comment too much on this for obvious reasons..

This is pretty much the main reason why the policy on "dead releases" exists.

There are innevitably going to be unsupported releases with the files still present that result in the same scenario, and hopefully we as a community can take a look at this and change things for the better.
