About My Addons And My Retirement

[🔥Iggy🔥]

yeah damn, its sad to see, but understandable.....im sure between 2.3 and 2.4 that is supposed to be close on its heels it has to be a full time job all it own how big the library became....thanks for letting us know whats going on anyway, and thanks for the years of service!.....ive also been doing this since vb and 15yrs or however long thats been so seriously thank you. dont forget you can still have some fun being creative anyway even if you are passing the bulk of the projects to someone else

in my mind things are settling some after 2.4?

Cheers Ozzy. Have a great retirement, mate.

I should add, I retired 10 years ago, and I'm busier than ever

Hey ozzy good luck in retirement. Thanks for some of the best addons we've had.

I wish you all the luck for the future, you are a staple to many communities and it truly feels like the end of an era.

I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I have a great deal of respect for you and wish you the best in retirement,

Take care and look after yourself.

Thank you all, glad to be a part in helping your communities.

 

[Ozzy47]

Sorry to hear this and thankyou for all your contributions.

Thank you.

Does this mean that Painbaker will be developing your add-ons from now on?

So, I've decided to pass my addons on to the most capable hands of Painbaker. There is about 675 addons currently available in the library and about 50 unreleased addons that Painbaker will be taking over. He will handle support and updates for all of the addons, with the exception of the Spaminator line and the Advanced Forms addon.

I want to express my strong support for you and your add-ons. While it's disappointing to see you leave, I believe in your decision. Despite our past differences, I genuinely wish you the very best in your retirement.

Enjoy life while you can. Hopefully, you stick around.

When it's ready, it is still mine, hehe.

Good luck brother.

I actually thought AndyB would retire first, and OzzModz would obtain their nearly 500 addons, becoming the majority addons Developer with over 1k+ of Xenforo's available addons.

I wish you well in your endeavours, Ozzy, you've done the forum add-on community proud all these years and I thank you for all of your hard work. We've had some ups and downs along the way, but you've been fantastic through it all and I thank you for that.

All the best in whatever comes next!

Pretty sure Ozzy vets quality of code before taking the addons on. So was always unlikely to eventuate.

Thank you both.

Effective immediately, I will be retiring from addon development for the most part..

I'm not getting any younger and I made this decision after some long thought about what the result would be if something unexpected should happen to me. I've also been overly busy at work and do not expect to get much free time to continue to support such a vast library of addons. So, I've decided to pass my addons on to the most capable hands of Painbaker. There is about 675 addons currently available in the library and about 50 unreleased addons that Painbaker will be taking over. He will handle support and updates for all of the addons, with the exception of the Spaminator line and the Advanced Forms addon.

For now, all of my paid addons that you may own will remain on snogssite.com available for you to download. That should make the transition easier for those that have licenses for my paid addons and nothing will change so far as where and how you download them at this time. Once Painbaker has his site set up completely, then you will be able to download your paid addons there, they would no longer be available here. The only ones that will remain for download and purchase here are the Spaminator line and the Advanced Forms addon. Those four will be maintained and updated here as usual. Please be patient while Painbaker gets his site up and running to allow purchases once again.

I will also respond to questions asked directly to me about the transition. Once Painbaker is fully set up on his site, all questions should be asked to Painbaker.

With that I'd like to thank everyone, and say that it's been an honor and privilege to have served the XF and vB communities for all these years.

Best wishes for an enjoyable retirement.

For a moment, I felt really lost.
As a beginner, your resources were incredibly helpful to me.
I can't imagine creating forums without using your add-ons.

You’re a legend to me, and you always will be.

Thank you for your service! Both in the military and for the XenForo community. I don't know your age, but I'm in a place where I should be considering retirement, yet my main line of freelance work has shrunk and I'm contemplating a completely unrelated second job. Enjoy your next phase in life!

BTW, what will become of your free addons?

Painbaker has taken those over as well
