    New company with interest in customers. IB leadership has proven this won't ever be the case and that hiring someone else to take over it will simply result in the same state of mind.

    You're absolutely correct. Until vbulletin is sold what you see is what you'll continue to get.

    Do we have any contact details for the person who is responsible for the daily running of VB? I think it may be time for him/her to receive some emails.

    Thank you very much. I think it is time for those running things to find out exactly why VB is doing so badly.

    Good luck. I sent him an email and he didn't bother to respond.

    I would suggest writing both -- but I highly doubt McGanty will pay any attention. H&F might... especially if they start to see IB isn't doing as well as it could be and why

    Start telling H&F that McGanty did not do a proper business case analysis and that they will likely not get a return on their investment (ROI), let's see how uncomfortable that would make them.... and I'm sure a few people at Internet Brands management will start squirming in their seats.

    It seems that these two emails are inactive. As they bounced.

    I will see if I receive a reply before contacting Jerry Brown Attorney General's Office, California, as I understand that IB comes under his jurisdiction .

    I hope I get an answer. I am used to reporting things and I have some methods I can use if there is no reply. We will see what they do.

    Well from Internet Brands i really do not expect anything at all. H&F well there big and i think vBulletin is to small for them to even be concerned if it makes profit. What the best is remove vBulletin under the wing of Internet Brands and give it a capital injection so it has funds for two years after that it needs to pay for its own upkeep.

    Well we could simply file false advertisement charges against IB :)

    I am not a USA lawyer but if the law is similar to Australia they could be charged with deceptive trade practises, False advertising, and Misrepresentation. ETC.

    This does not take into account Libel and defamation by an employee and a host of other charges.
