Chris has been an active participant on these forums since the days I started posting. I remember the good old days of him spamming the vB.org mail discussion forums He's one of the few people that made up the "community" here. It's sad to see him go just because he is starting up a project of his own. I have no doubts whatsoever that he would not use his position here to gain a competitive advantage.
I like chris a lot but he HAD to know that something would happen with those actions. I wont belittle him with stupidity to assume otherwise.
No offence to the rest of the mods here - you do a wonderful job - but I always found Chris to be one of the most approachable and helpful. It's a shame he's gone.
I will not say the full extent of reasons but vBulletin.org did what they believe was right, weather others think its right or wrong its up to them not us. This thread is bound to be locked soon purely because its talking about a new bulletin board which may not even get created.

Why was the project stopped and if so,now there shouldnt be a conflict right? Or too much bad blood?
Chris decided to start his own forum software company (http://www.cx-board.com/), the administration felt there was a conflict of interest having him on staff here while he was developing a competing forum solution. This is why he was stepped down by the administration.

If you actually read the site the development is stopped, and has been for awhile now.
