Why was the thread requesting a lifetime license removed?

Hi @me2,
The thread was archived (it still exists, but is no longer public). It is one of the very, very few that have been archived in this way. If you do any browsing on the forum you can plainly see that we are very transparent and allow pretty much everything, as long as it is constructive.

One large reason was because we have some new pricing and plans on the way (in large part because we are listening very closely to user feedback), which will be sure to change the discussion, so the thread was not as relevant.

Another major reason was because the quality of the thread sharply declined. It was up for 60 days, and there were certainly good comments on the thread, and all of them were read. Unfortunately, the thread started degenerating into posts with non-constructive criticism, foul language, and competing product advertisements, with nothing new or insightful being added to the discussion.

If you would like to start another thread you are welcome to do so. I will probably add a disclaimer on it to try to prevent the same decline I saw in the previous one.

I would like to encourage you to wait for our upcoming updates in this area, though. There is bound to be more discussion based on the changes, and discussion at that time will be more valuable.
