You have options. When I recently researched commercial forum s/w, I found their competition, in some cases, offering lifetime licenses that include upgraded s/w, fixes, support, and actual upgrading by the vendor for less than an Infopop renewal. They also issue bugfixes / security fixes as soon as bugs or holes are ID'd. Then when you compare features.... well, for us it was no-brainer and we'll be converting shortly.
No offense intended, we felt the same way, but instead of whining we did something about it.
