I had mixed feelings about these news. Finally there will be no false hope that new forum software will be released one day. Not sure that I was waiting for it because I'm fine with current version. And I had some fears that new version will have worse user experience because of all bugs that it can take a while to fix.

I'm also wondering about how much money was spent in all these years, but I doubt that we will get answer.
Also, it would interesting to hear name of company, they deserved some bad advertising.
