For those looking for alternatives (like me), I've been using gplplugins.club for the past week since Festinger was offline. Mostly tried it because it's cheap, but doesn't inspire much confidence. Any others?

I will follow up on all outstanding inquiries by tomorrow. I appreciate your patience.

I also got the $2 monthly plan from them which allows 3 downloads every day. But the plugins are hit and miss most of the files are not activated some of them are not even valid files.
Also there is no support for reporting files.

I understand your frustration here, bro. If it were over, I wouldn't comment on the reply as I did here.
As a company, we cannot risk the financial penalties of $25k due to the ex-parte ruling. We have to hold our services until we receive the verdict of the 2nd short hearing.
We received confirmation from the court that it is scheduled for November 27th, 2024. We will update everyone about the progress, but we are not going anywhere.
The court has already acknowledged some of Automattic’s claims' flaws, and we hope that the upcoming hearing will bring us closer to lifting the ex-parte ruling.

So to be full transparent festingervault can be closed for 3 month, can be for 6 month or can be forever.

I understand, and it is frustrating that 50k clients/websites (free and paid) negatively impact any of your businesses, projects, and livelihoods.
We have a unique service related to the Festinger Vault plugin; I am sure you will return once we return online after the verdict of 2nd short hearing.

Thanks for the feedback, man, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We haven't closed our doors; our service is temporarily on hold until the verdict of the 2nd short hearing.
I am sorry for the inconvenience. We are working hard to get back to you as soon as possible so you can enjoy our full services again.

A $2 plan? That's new to me! Please email me at [email protected], and I will check it out.

@everyone else, I am again really sorry for the inconvenience, and we look forward to returning very soon.
Since 2017, we have supported loads of members here on BHW by sharing free themes, plugins, and knowledge to promote the open-source mindset.
As we are going through a more inconvenient period, I request everyone to await the verdict of the 2nd short hearing scheduled for November 27th, 2024.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

we're so back

Sample?

After all, you have now informed us that the second appointment will take place on 27.11. So you will probably be able to reopen your store on December 15 - in the best-case scenario.

Keep it transparent, otherwise the trust will be gone. Finally, I can't see any information about the current situation on your own homepage, except that there was a first hearing. So far, your lawyers have apparently not been able to publish a simple update.

s always, communication is the key. That's all we expect

Nice you said next hearing November 27th. Now we can choose what to do.
To be clear for all at the best scenario you will be open by 2025-01-01 due to Big holidays etc...
I like your service very much and been one of the first 20 members to join but time to move on i guess, i have no doubt in you but this situation is very unpredictable. Hope you will figure it out some day

By the way admins @BassTrackerBoats should check this topic because a lot newbies just spam this thread with "sample" etc and just trashes the forum, i think you need to lock this thread until situation would be solved, because now for few month service is not working and not gonna work for 2 more...

Couldn't edit my post above: I see that you did post the update on the situation on your site, just not directly on the home page, but further on in the forum thread. Ok!

I don't know why trust will be gone and how to keep it transparent as this is a court case and you shouldn't reveal everything until the final call is made.

As long as you can get your refund from Festinger, I don't know what else to expect from him and how you lose trust in his service because it is a shitshow brought up by Matt, who keeps shitting till this day with his newest shitshow "Wordpress.org is his own property", not by Festinger.

Oh, a refund is not desired at all. I was able to use the Vault for 1 year, its fine.

And yet I would like to see better communication. As soon as the court order came in, he also published an update. So far so good. Then suddenly came the information about a 2nd application. This raises the question: had this information been available for some time? If so, why not communicate it openly right away? Some of us would have been prepared for this straight away: well - the whole thing will take at least 3 months .. time to find alternatives. That's what I mean by trust and COMMUNICATION.

Nobody here has claimed that I want to know every detail of a court hearing - publishing dates is not a violation ;D I also realize that Matt started the whole thing. But that doesn't change the situation.

I am really curious on how big of a business this was to catch Automatic's and Woo's attention... I know i will not learn that but i am quite curious about it.

Can you send me some review copy.

I can confirm I received a prompt refund from Festinger for the time not used.

I do wish him the best of luck with getting this resolved and will gladly resubscribe as soon as the service becomes available again.

I'd love to see some samples with a review copy, please! Thanks!

Hmm, that is quite unfortunate, about the second hearing. Since your messaging was talking about moving on after the first hearing. If I knew this I would have find another alternative, till you are back.
Anyway, gl.

I got charged the last 2 months that I couldn't use as service is down. I want a refund!

To be honest, @Festinger Vault deserves our patience here.

The man has 20+ threads on BHW alone giving away their services over the years. They have provided a lot to the community.

They were even transparent when it came to the court proceedings & an eventual hearing. You even have the verdict date listed in this thread.

They've been much more honest than some of these sellers would've been.

Have some patience.

why don't just secretly move the assets to offshore anonymous server

need the plugins!

Deserving patience is one thing and I agree with that.

Not switching of the charging users on subscription while it's resolved is a sneaky move.
Especially after multiple users tole hime here that they got charged while it's all on hold.
So he knows about it for sure.
