End of the story.

Yep doesn't matter if current customers care about it or not, if they can't make money from it, then to hell with telling people about it apparently.

To be fair, we didn't have to open source the software.

That's true but it's also not the main point of the discussion so far either. I probably would've been interested in it had I been emailed about it or notified about it via announcement on .com or .org.

We appreciate that the bugs have been fixed. To me it didn't matter if it was open source or at the vb.com.

In my opinion it's been the best thing about vbulletin for years.

I'm not really a developer, so anything going forward will probably be slow on my end.

I intend to merge/test any pull requests and get them applied.
If people log issues in my repo, I'll do my best to help work though them, or hopefully get community help.

I'm going to do my best to maintain the project on myend anyway. I've reached out to Andreas to see if he is okay with me including his xenForo importer in the package. I believe I've also applied a workaround to fixing an issue with his code. I just can't publish it yet without permission from him. Since its not marked as re-useable code, and there is no included license otherwise.
