@Ozzy47,

Our "relationship" (or when I started purchasing add ons from you) goes back to around 2018 or early 2019. Going forward, I hope I can still receive the great customer support and development support which I always have with you and your team, even after what appears to be harsh criticism of your absence.

You did not have to explain yourself as much as you did. I have empathy for just about every situation that life can throw at anyone, as I would like to be treated the same.

What you could have done, and what anybody in a professional situation like this should have done, is take a cue that they need the time off for whatever reason and merely make a statement of absence with no need to make follow-up statements. And if that planned absence, in XenForo's case, is greater than 45 days for resource housekeeping, develop a plan as you laid out here during those days and post it before that time is up.

That would give everyone a great sigh of relief, especially me as I have a lot invested in a current project with @Painbaker that might need some extra work, and own licenses to add ons that could use some feature upgrading when there is time to allot to them.

I sincerely hope that you get the time you need to unwind and relax a little bit, and come back better when you're ready.

I'm thread banned from the other thread so a mod can move this into the thread or keep it here or delete it. It's really whatever.

folks get banned here for strongly voicing their opinion either thread or total and when it offends some.
that happens.
the heat cannot be tolerated by some.
but good on you for stating the positive also when it was brought to your attention.
we do not always know what is going on in someones life.
some in power will snap out and react based upon emotion and their personal feelings instead of trying to find out what may be going on.
in my short time with xenforo i have seen that several times.
but it is also a telling fact on how much this program relies on outside developers.
my site does not use any of his add-ons but the site i am staff on does.
but it is not a big deal on it because another major xenforo programmer still has not updated some of his paid add ons.
 
I didn't know it was a thing until I got reply* banned here. I never noticed it on any of my 2.2 installs (don't have one up to see if it was even a feature then as I never used it). But, FWIW, this is where it is on 2.3...


Edit: I guess it was on 2.2.8 PL 1... Don't know how far back it went cause I never even noticed it. :-P
Reply bans have been around a while. We use them a lot. I forget when they came out now. I even have an add-on to enhance them so that people are not only banned from replying, but also reacting to posts in the thread and some other actions.

I deleted that message as it might violate XF's rules. If you could, please remove that quote.

They do not - you are talking nonsense, again.

I am not going to discuss moderation issues in public but the thread ban had nothing to do with any of the content posted by frm.

I would have lifted the thread ban as requested but apparently 20 minutes was too late to respond to a DM on a Saturday afternoon.

I will close this thread so it doesn't detract from the other one.
