urlI'm certain that this lawsuit comes directly from Bob Brisco. Bob Brisco is the root cause of all these problems. It's he who took the decision not to develop vB4 from scratch, but instead give the shareholders a quick release. It's that decision which led to the loss of the star quality from the development team. It's that decision which has led to the disaster that is vb4.
He will have been outraged at the news of the treacherous ex-employees' pending release of rival software and it's undoubtedly he who will have initiated the law suits. With maximum prejudice and minimum strategic competency.
I hope (and believe) the lawsuit will fail badly, I hope XenForo sue for $millions and win, I hope the IB investors see what a complete mess Brisco has made of vBulletin Solutions inc, and sack him. And I hope the investors dump vBulletin Solutions inc.and I hope vBulletin's market share drops below UBB's.
The icing on the cake would be to see vBulletin sold to the XenForo guys for $1, to be resurrected and released as 'from-scratch' software as vBulletin 5 (probably in just a few months). Provided, of course, it doesn't compromise the XenForo release schedule. That's the only way I can see vBulletin ever being a viable product again.
hehe. sassy.
