Easyblog discontinued?

[thodorisgo]

Hello,
i'm using Easyblog for my website for a long long time and i'm kind of stuck on it since i have so many posts. Until 2022 the stackideas team was offering serious customer support services with the issues being fixed within 24 hours but since the start of 2023, the support is really poor and the old support stuff appear to be innactive for 9 months from their forum. Also the EB updates on 2022 were released on regular basis, they released 9 version updates and this year 0.

I am not trying to defame the extension, it's just that the scenario of discontinuation of the extension gives me nightmares (fe migrating it's content).

I created this post here because they also changed their support forum setup and there are not any longer public posts.

Does anybody have informations about the future of the Easyblog extension and Stackideas?

Kind regards

You can join a Stackideas user group on Facebook and discuss this further with more insight info there. Do a search and you will find it. Seems they slowly dying and milk out the last subscription base unfortunately....

I think this company was one of the best in the Joomla! world, but looks like they sold out and didn't bother to tell their clients. It's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

So it seems that Stackideas was sold to another company
https://tslmedia.sg/tsl-acquisition-sof ... velopment/ and the new company is just earning from the subscriptions instead of working with the extensions support ane upgrade.
No information to the clients.

Now it's a good time for me to panic i guess. Unless there is a way to migrate from EB to Joomla content that I'm not aware of.
