Right on.... well stated.Someday XF will look at lawsuits like many other successful businesses - that is, sort of like an annoying mosquito but not really of any harm. The important thing is to hang tough and get past the first hurdles.

It's been almost 36 hours since Kier's last post.
I can hear the Worry Machine starting already.
Any guesses to what Kier's Return: Post #2 will be about ?
Have you seen ?
Bare Feet ?
Avatar change ?
Kier eats raw eggs ?
Did you ever think about having a donation drive for lawsuits ? I know i would pay some money.
Umpteenth time, please would you and others STOP bringing the developers' personal lives into this?
Not once have I or most other people made ANY request for details of their personal lives.
What we required, and have now got, was reassurance from the developers as to what exactly was going on with the COMPANY, the company we support and have invested a great deal financially AND emotionally, into.
Throughout this sorry saga people like myself have had our words twisted to imply we wanted full disclosure on kier's personal life. We don't and never did, so please stop bringing it up.
Nobody was asking for transparency of that kind at all.

Not sure why we're creating straw men to belittle another's opinion.
That's not quite the same as forsaken suggested. Mike was simply saying that it was up to Kier. Forsaken was suggesting that posts had been made along the lines of "Kier's taking some time out to sort out some personal issues and will be back as soon as he can" - or words to that effect.
... is there anything you can tell us about the development schedule Kier? Any little "shares" we can have to whet our pallets?
There was a group of us trying to organise a donation drive when this all hit, however some in the community took exception to it and legal and logistical requirements to keep it all above board made it very difficult.
Best thing you can do if you want to make a contribution is to purchase additional licenses, or renew if you have licenses that have lapsed.
You left again ?Hello everyone, it's been a while.
I'm aware that many of you have been concerned that I've not really showed my face around these parts recently. I can only apologise for my absence and ask you to understand that I've been working through some very difficult personal issues that have been a source of uncertainty and anxiety for me for some time now. I've been conflicted as to whether or not to post, as I haven't wanted to announce my return until such time as I've felt confident that I'm back to stay, and that I can devote the necessary time and effort to focus on our great product and wonderful community. Here I am.
By any measure, XenForo has been and continues to be a phenomenal success. The software has turned out better than I could ever have imagined, and the response to it from the community at large has been incredible, both in terms of sales and feedback. Seeing enormous sites like IGN moving their forums over to our software is hugely rewarding. It's a great pity that Mike, Ashley and I have been unable to really celebrate that success due to the dark shadow of the ongoing lawsuits hanging over us and the grotesque cost of mounting a defence against them, which has meant that virtually every penny that XenForo has made has been consumed by legal fees rather than paying us a salary or allowing us to hire more staff to develop our products faster. Nonetheless, I continue to have faith that the claims against us will be shown for what they are, and that in time we will emerge even stronger than before, and will continue to build world-beating software that people will want to use.
I'd like to thank the many people who've sent me personal messages of support recently. It's heart-warming to see that so many of you care enough to get in touch, even when I'm not around. Thank you, all.
Now, let's get on with doing what we do best.
