Not likely, starting new ventures is not as easy as pie, they have something very solid here, and if it's not driven into the ground by IB, this has the highest chance of being their income and job for a very very long time if not until they retire, short of someone offering them oodles of money or winning the lottery.My concern. When the court rules in favor of KAM, what chance is there that they simply breath a sigh of relief, and close things up to move onto other projects/jobs?
Kier and his team have spent too much time working on this project to simply walk away at this point in my honest opinion. Anything is possible. However what his next move will be is speculation until this whole court case is settled.My concern.

I know no one wants to talk about it. I personally wish it wasn't an issue. But there is a the elephant in the room which we're all forgetting.
However, in the case that IB gets crushed by any sort of decision from the judge, would they really be stupid enough to go through with the UK one? Would they really think they can accomplish anything there, at that point, if they all ready lost with "home advantage"?I know no one wants to talk about it. I personally wish it wasn't an issue. But there is a the elephant in the room which we're all forgetting. The UK Court Case would still be pending after the end of this court case.
Granted... I can safely bet that The UK Courts do not take lightly to the games that IB has played and it will all go down a lot quicker than the current court issues in America.
You have to love and respect that The UK is quick about such matters. And that part of it will be done and over with faster than it took to resolve The USA matter.
I have complete faith it will all be over soon. But the elephant is still in the room until that's done and over with.
Would Internet Brands be stupid enough? .... YesHowever, in the case that IB gets crushed by any sort of decision from the judge, would they really be stupid enough to go through with the UK one? Would they really think they can accomplish anything there, at that point, if they all ready lost with "home advantage"?
I don't know, I just wonder if they'd really do that at that point, as it would be more or less financial and social suicide.

This^The UK courts have already stipulated VB need to deposit an obscene amount of money into court escrow before they will even entertain the case.

Internet Brands own like 200+ divisions(Correct me if I'm wrong), stockholders and the sort would never allow something like that to continue at that point over vBulletin, they would write it off as a loss and move on. Hellman and Friedman would not even bother with a cent, because IB is supposed to be able to take care of things like that.For a multi-million dollar company (Internet Brands), which is backed up by a multi-billion dollar company (Hellman & Friedman).

I always play all the odds.... Like yourself and everyone else here.... I do not think it would really go further. But I've also learned to always expect the unexpected.Internet Brands own like 200+ divisions(Correct me if I'm wrong), stockholders and the sort would never allow something like that to continue at that point over vBulletin, they would write it off as a loss and move on.

Edit: Atleast that is how companies work around in America, not sure about other parts of the world.

Same reason why they kept drawing out this case as long as they can. It's all been their strategy to try to bankrupt and hurt XenForo's business (in my opinion). From the start they've never had a case... It's not about winning, it's about making the war (case) outlast the little guy.Why do you think IB didn't push the UK case at the same time?
They know its a lost cause, so why would they want to commit to a £100,000 deposit they know they will lose the majority of.

It's awesome and fortunate that Kier, Mike, Ashley have great representation who saw this early on and planned for it. After reading the motion and arguments released today, it sounds like Pam let Internet Brands believe they were in control when in reality, she was in complete control and was preparing to fight them on those terms
