Which, by this account, it had value and provided benefit?
Why did it just disappear on a whim notice or reason? Suggest there's something more to it. Copyright demands because you were illegally ripping some one off causing immediate closure without notice? Petulant schoolboy taking his bat and ball and going home because some hurt someones feelings? Unable to work together and cohesively on the project and a member pulled the plug an dthe others have thrown in the towel? Expected it to become the fork/replacement for xenforo.com if it was handed to Jellsoft, and now with that resolved its time to pull the plug?
It was given a big hooray and promotion, flogged to death, and huge big sell of why everyone had to go there. And then it was just switched off, with no warning or apparent reason. Moving on, my takeaway is that it says more about the honour and trustworthiness of those involved than anything else I guess.
I didn't disappear. I closed a site. By my choosing. Sorry, but you will have to deal with that. I'm not required to tell why, to outline anything, etc. I had my time with it, and I was done. Simple as that. I had other projects I wanted to spend my time on, as well as some other personal things that I needed to tend to. It happens, its life. I've learned to accept it.
As far as you even suggesting I was illegally ripping someone off is amusing.
As I stated many times, xFS was only a place to hang out. When it was created, the status of XF was up in the air. The moderation here at the time was very... random... shall we say. I made it to get developers add-ons noticed, and allow people a place to test these modifications in a central location. Nothing more. No underhand deals, no money exchanged, nothing. I spent more than I really needed to on a site that was nothing more than a hobby. A fork or replacement? ME? Hahahaha. I can't code. Where would that have ever been suggested, or even "put out there". Once the status of XF was resolved and apparent, then the future of xFS was already determined. I knew that, and I am sure others knew that.
Regardless, it met my goals I wanted. I wanted developers work to be noticed (check), developers work to be purchased (check).
I am not interested in doing anything else with xFS. It will not be opened again, it will not be sold, it will not be merged.
I'm okay with you not liking me, with you not thinking I have "honour or trustworthiness".
I'm sorry there isn't some illegal type of answer that I can give you to make you happy. Again, its just time for me to move on. If you can't accept that, my apologies in advance.
