Huh, I remember it more as "I offered to provide the vBulletin license" and then everyone, including jgreco, got hung up in an argument regarding how much iXsystems would play, or not play, in the new system and how much confusion would result from also leaving the old system in place, since nobody was going to retire Xenforo just because there was a new kid on the block using old BB technology and promising to do a better job, and I never got any sort of recognizable green light that agreement had been reached and a vBulletin based Forum was going to be launched by some specific person or persons the minute the license was provided. If we look hard enough, I'm sure we can necromance a few threads with jgreco going "well wait, let's talk about this some more - what about X?", where X was some point of significant concern and/or paranoia about running a forum. I didn't blame him. It's a big and annoying job, but please don't paint this as "it fell through because Jordan withheld the license" - that license is still just sitting there, waiting to be put to some good use, and there's absolutely no benefit on my end to withholding it. I was the first one to call for a "fork" if it would resolve the longstanding iXsystems vs the Mods threads, remember?
So, in summary, it's still yours anytime you want it,
@jgreco. You got the hosting set up and ready to go? I'll have James send you the key.
All I ask is that we try to do a cleaner hand-off this time, where your vBulletin rebel alliance makes it clear they're ready and willing to proceed with its attack on the death star rather than just flying aimless circles in space, endlessly trash-talking over the radio and fortifying yourselves with liquid courage. ;-)
