I too am disappointed as I have been a loyal threads user. Hearing that they just decided to drop our line and try to convince us to go with the "flavor of the month" just made my heart sink and my stomach turn. I have been beta testing FusionBB and am very impressed so far. So impressed that when it went on sale this week I purchased 2 licenses. One of them being a lifetime license. It is good now. Just think what it will be like in a year. After all, those guys at Fusion care about the users. I have learned in life that when you care about your customers, you don't need to worry about your checkbook. It will take care of itself. It's a shame that some of these "business" people don't understand that simple logic.
