I am surely not going to make friends with this post, but my rant of the day going to Telligent.

Community:Forums, new name for ASP:Forums is now under the control of Telligent. What surprised me is that this company 'hijacked' the product built through the contribution of many developers in the .Net community.

Of course, it's still free to download, but the confusion come by the fact that if you click on the download link, you are redirected to a store online, and one of the first thing asked is 'Want to buy these items by Paypal?'.

I had to read twice the page to find that I can still download the product for free. I wonder if soon or later this free option will not disappear ?

I think if Telligent want to make money with this tool, I have no objections. But we should have one free version at ASPNet web site and another commercial one in Telligent.

And if I have to buy their forums tool, It shouldn't be called anymore Community::Forums but surely Telligent forums.

I am very dependant in my different developments with ASPNet Forums, so please let the forums belonging to the community.
