Rick,
There seems to be a lot of concern about the licensing side of things. I appreciate that you are unable to tell us how things will be and what the costs will be but I would like to clarify one point ... Am I right in thinking that any existing owner of WWWThreads actually does own their copy of the software and that the annual renewals are simply to allow you to download and own the latest versions as and when they appear. If this is the case, and I am not advocating this as a course of action until Infopop have proved themselves one way or another, then surely the existing owners could simply walk away with their current version (or the latest version that their license allows before it expires) and then maintain the software themselves. For example, many of the improvements and additions are actually hacks before they are included in the official release. What, if anything, is proventing someone from funning their own WWWThreads, sorry UBBThreads, site where hacks are stored so that people can maintain their own version of the software, including or excluding what items they want? Am I right in saying that the only thing we would be prevented from doing would be installing a newer version of the software as released by Infopop, ie a pirated version?
Just wondering ...
