Now that it seems FestingerVault is gone for good, we really need a proper alternative. Where did you guys go after using FestingerVault?
 
I never used Festinger as I always had doubt - but I used/use to download stuff from gpldl.com - It's quite good, some premium plugins are free and some required donations, but it's worth a try.
 
I'm eyeing one of these, all have been around for years:

GPLtimes: Looks super pro in all aspects, but also the most expensive. White label, auto updates, rave reviews, and more.
Srmehranclub: Ugliest website since myspace, but a huge selection, great reviews of their support and they also run a ltd promotion atm. Auto updates.
GPLchimp: Not the largest selection, but seems extremely well curated (100% hit rate on the stuff I searched for). Auto updates and a fair price level as well.

I've looked at several others too, but for me most of them fall short in repo size, features (esp auto update), or review scores. There are quite a lot of them out there though, and I have definitely not seen them all.
 
It's always a bummer when a familiar service shuts down. For anything crucial, I'd suggest investing directly in developer licenses. It saves a lot of trouble and ensures updates. If you're just exploring options, look into reputable communities or official GPL providers. Just make sure to do your own research and be cautious with what you download.

Not really in trouble. I saved so much money thanks to FestingerVault. Now just need another service

Festinger was a good player. I hope he returns soon.
Alternatively, I use these two sites. Both are good and update daily :)

GPLtimes
Nullsto .com
 
GPL cellar is perfection on this earth. spoken with the guy too via emails for support on some plugins and he replies almost instantly.

would have bought their lifetime license if I had the extra money. Festinger going down and not refunding my lifetime subscription hurts.

He's been banned permanently.

"Was" is the operative term.
could they return if they "redeem" themselves?

basically restoring old accounts and/or refunding everyone who asked for it

When he made that post about being a handicaped needing support, I knew it was gonna do a rugpull, but as an idiot didnt request refund...

Festinger was banned, contacted support and said he would refund if they allowed him back. They allowed him back. He didn't refund. So, he was banned again.

i have been using Deleted member 752298 plugin for few years .. like wp rocket .. no problem at all .. i have some doubts on other .. any alternative you can suggest for wp rocket ?
 
Also had a very bad run-in with Martin (aka Festinger) in the past. He's scum.

And now he's got a new project.

Another place where he can scam people.
 
Almost every day, I receive promotional emails from Festingervault, even though I’m not a paid customer and my primary email address is not registered on their websites (I have never used it there). This is incredibly frustrating, and I’ve reported it as spam, but now my spam folder is filling up.

Any solution, please?

He scraped/bought emails from nulled sites that allow plugin downloads. I use separate emails for signups on such sites so that spam doesn't reach my professional email. You should keep multiple active emails for IM.
