It is very obvious that you never coded an addon for vB, that you never coded an addon for xenforo, and that you have no idea just in what abominable way IB gave a ++++ing damn about addon coders when vB4 was released. And did the same when vB5 was released. Same about style designers.
You make all this out to be some vB - xF battle. It is not. Many coders did not leave because they wanted to take sides, but because vB litteraly drove them away. Also, there are many who did not leave for xF, but for IPB.
Anyway, when you buy an addon you buy what you get, plus a maybe somewhat reasonable time of support. You don't buy llifetime support, nor do you buy a guarantee of further development. Some seem to think that all that can be had for a few bucks, but that's just naive. This is not about fair or unfair, but about real life. Coders who life off their work need to make a living, and it is quite obvious that vB has no future. That's why they leave.
Anyway, what's wrong with my signature? It states what is the case, and I think it's just honest to tell people what they can expect. I gave no promises to anyone, and I gave away my work for free. Because I loved the software, and I loved the community. Nothing of both is left, IB ruined it for pretty much everyone. As far as I know, my addons still work for vB4, and if you think there will be much future development of that branch by IB, you're even more naive than I thought. If you don't like that I decided not to do develop them further, for reasons that are none of your business, I just couldn't care less.
But yet you're still here and posting!!Why not just move on? Seeing you have made your intentions clear!
