These guys seem to work to their own schedule and pay no attention to what the community is reporting as problems. Their token efforts of askimet spam simply doesnt work and poorly coded modules and templates that they have the audacity to call PRO lol yeah right. Personally i think the project should be taken up by another party who will have the time to place effort into it. I'm sick of hearing the overused excuse we don't have the time as we all have full time jobs bullshit. The company must be making some money from selling products and services, what it comes down to though is the founding developer not believing in his product enough to bite the bullet and go full time. That's why pligg will never be a major CMS system and to enter it for the Crunchies this year was a complete joke i think they came 120th out of 100 lol The pligg developers simply don’t give a damn about the community the have grown, questions go unanswered bugs go un-fixed and Lincioln pointed out in the article they didn’t even integrate registration validation emails into v9.9.0 when the code was already available.

I can't diagree with your support gripe as their forums are pretty bad for support compared to joomla, drupal etc but those two do have bigger communities. Pligg questions do have a tendency to go unanswered by developers for weeks and months however :( I think your reply is harsh Daniel as apparently pligg has one developer Ashdigg doing the bulk of the work on the project, what he has achieved so far is pretty good.

OpenSource is great as long as it has contributors and pligg simply does not have any, a project on the slide in my eyes they need some serious management help, and as for selling the project for $150k they would be grateful to receive $150 dollars for the entire company today i would think. The pligg team looks to be like the keystone cops of open source after sifting through their forums lol I have to agree with that fact the pligg provides vert little to no support at all, the pligg forums are jam packed with members asking for help on some pretty serious bugs that never get answered.

About 6 months ago I mothballed the whole project and haven't looked at it since.. Yes, it's open source.. Yes, it's free.. And Yes, it doesn't work unless you have some serious full time developers working for you to fix all the problems.. Maybe I'll tear it down and stick up a slashdot clone instead.. Such potential, such waste.. I was so excited when I installed pligg for the first time more than a year ago.. About 6 months ago I mothballed the whole project and haven’t looked at it since..
