Tens of thousands of BTC (reportedly 11,000 BTC) were put into creating this new forum software. I don't think that this is going to go down too well for people who gave BTC to the forum for this purpose, only for the plug to be pulled after all these years. This is a real shame to read.
How much did this investment cost? And what is the future plan to develop the forum software?
Reportedly 11,000 BTC was donated toward this new forum software.
