And I don't give a shit about sharing private PMs either.

He knows he's duped many many people, myself included. Amusing. #nointerest #myfault

This crowdfund mess has part of it's origin here: Add-on - XenReviews [CrowdFund] This is the summary as I understand it. I believe this all started around early 2015, and things started going sour on our about July 2015.... Daniel Hood and later and another developer (Jeff Barry), had a crowd fund started to develop a review system for XenForo, named XenReviews. It used a XenGrid system that Barry developed that was supposedly a GoodThing™, according to Daniel. Things seemed to be going well, and then Jeff Barry bowed out, and gave the project to Daniel Hood. Now, as I understand it, Daniel got married, or maybe was in the process of getting married, maybe had a new job, or new addons to develop. In particular, a new addon he is developing for avforums.com upset a few backers of XenReviews because both addons have similar features. So people started asking about the progress of XenReviews, and when the next update would be available. After some poorly worded explanations (in my opinion) from Daniel about the status of the project, backers freaked out and are demanding that Daniel either provide some updates, or refund their money. Daniel claims he doesn't have the time to finish the project, but he does plan to release it eventually. Today, Daniel posted a comment that he and the "XenForo Team" reached "an agreement" about the addon, referred to as a "resource" on XenForo. It says: If you read that, it sounds more like XenForo gave him an ultimatum, there really wasn't an agreement made. Of course, Howie from TAZ has to fly in as the self proclaimed arbiter of the situation, all the while make sure that the many commenters and viewers see his signature link to TheAdminZone, lol. His meanness toward Daniel was never really a threat, he was just trying to spread the sunshine! lol. So, if any of that information is wrong, please correct me, that's how I understand it. I don't have a license to this system, or any of Daniel's addons, at least I don't think, so I don't have a horse in the race. My questions are: 1) It appears from reading all of that content in the thread that the project originally had funds saved in an escrow account, and that Jeff and/or Daniel would only get these funds, paid by the backers, when the project was complete. Was this escrow a farce, or did the situation with the escrow change so that Daniel and Jeff got all of the backers' money, or what happened to the escrow? 2) I thought Daniel had somebody helping him with this work? What happened to him/her/them? Add-on - XenMods/XenReviews Hiring 3) Was this resource available on XenForo at one time? It doesn't appear to be available now. If the resource was never available on XenForo, why did Daniel let all the complaints happen on XenForo? Why didn't he just allow people to bitch and moan on his own site. Did he advertise the crowdfund on Pozible? I'm just trying to figure out why XenForo wouldn't have closed all discussions about the resource, similar to what they did with the Brivium fiasco
