    Agree, very nice. They have a beautiful office, and clearly have a great photographer on the team. :)

    The "Director of Security" made me smile.

    I usually hate when companies resort to lawyers, but in this case I think Joe really did go full retard and needed to be told to STFU.

    Yes, Topify accused us of being associated with the website http://stoptopify.org/, and sent a cease & desist.

    The ownership dispute with vBSEO is not directly related.

    The infrequency of updates here is justified by the extensive, repetitive, non-objective (for the most part), low value trolling by a small group of people here who a known for such activity. There's no need to continually repeat stuff already said for the benefit of those whose goal is antagonism, rather than objective evaluation.

    To the benefit of anyone actually concerned, there's been a wealth of info shared, and I'm sure there will be more later as more significant updates arise.

    For now, it's as you might expect. No response from Juan Muriente, of course.

    There were other discussions at TAZ regarding Topify biz practices initiated by other community members, and where I also contributed asking questions about the relationship between vBSEO/Crawlability/Juan Muriente and Topify.

    It was legitimate discussion. Although they never acknowledged any formal business relationship, Topify apparently was renamed from "Fanversation", a project developed almost certainly with Crawlability resources and apparently acquired. You can do your research with Delaware corporate registry.

    But that is about Topity, what about Vbseo? Is it just gone stay like that with vbseo being controlled by Juan and he is not doing anything about it. Many forums are affected by this, he needs to take responsibility. Either sell it and let another company to continue the work, or try to work out a deal with you guys so the ones who are interested into it, can keep developing it. One or the other.

    They can't accuse you if they have no prove, they need the ownership of that domain and who owns it to send a cease and desist, unless they are telling you to completely refrain from talking about this subject online and anywhere.

    Juan is simply irresponsible. IF he had any type of plan that dealt with customer concerns or the ongoing operations of the company, he should have spoken out.

    Hence, the reason such a thread like this exists in the first place. If things had been addressed, there would be no need for a community to have to dig for basic answers about what's going on.

    Except that, it wasn't a community, it was just you and your wife who brought all this drama, seemingly for your own personal gain.

    Joey - you're one of the low value, biased, antagonists I mentioned. Sorry, but... #theresaspade. If you stay loyal and obedient to the Chicago boys you might get a free ticket to a car show. Great work doing your best to distort or misdirect. Nobody falls for your nonsense, but you do successfully lower the signal to noise ratio. Every time we respond, we indulge you. You win, but it's a messy finish. ;)

    I registered solely for this message as it seems to be quite freaking true. Everywhere there's a joeychgo post, you're sure to find highly biased B.S in the contents. This, of course, is my personal opinion from what I've seen him post on various sites.

    I think this explains the whole thread.

    Where is the promised comment by Juan? Looks to me like another guy that cannot face the truth and so runs away and hides.

    We seem to have a few others here who do that. Is that right Joe D and Paul M.

    See, and I was thinking you were referring to yourself. And im not loyal or obedient. Thanks for the personal attack by the way.

    See, here's the thing... Nah, I've explained myself before. I think most people know what you are Joe.

    Yes, you are. I have no problem at all with Ray or Jack, but the way you get into any discussion that even peripherally mentions them makes you seem like some sort of creepy stalker shill and I think at this point you're beginning to do your friends more harm than good.

    Yet here you are, for someone reason, continuing to talk about software you never used and never will.

    Cant we all just get along? Joe is just looking out for his wife, yet you all give him a hard time about it daily. Same with Paul M, he is employed by the company, he HAS to defend it. It seems like a lot of you haters are just taking advantage of the leveraged position some of these people find themselves in. That is pretty messed up.

    I agree Juan choosing not to talk is a horrible position to take, but it is his choice. And if Topify was started, created, or whatever as some type of joint venture or funded by Crawlability, then @ILIA-VBSEO is entitled to compensation. Thus the point of this thread. That is the only point, all of this other he said she said does not really matter. I can understand people wanting to defend their friends, but they made the mess. Sadly, it all comes back to money. Greed is a horrid thing and does and can ruin families.

    But, until their is a court case, and things are set in stone, all of this bickering is rather mute. So, you all play nice or I am getting the whip.

    Also, @Joeychgo apparently has left for good and refuses to return unless @Joe Ward is banned. So, I guess that ends some of this. We will not be banning anyone on requests, just for the record :D

    He took his legos and went home after just a tiny taste of his own medicine? Wow.
