    v5 is a significant step forward for UI, discovery, noise versus signal and brand matching. Change is hard but it is kind of inevitable.
    If nothing changed, then we'd still be using this:

    And while you could absolutely run a successful community on that product even now, the chances of attracting new members would be low given the expectations modern audiences have for UI and ease of use.

    I don't suffer from FOMO and I understand my community far better than anyone else. I don't jump on bandwagons or follow the herd. Only dead fish swim with the current. 
    It's about having vision and content, not the new shiny object.

    When using an app for fun, this kind of thing got me excited.
    I use IPS for my business, so this means nothing but problems and tons of work coming soon. My community likes stability and hates change just for change sake. V5 sounds like a bunch of change, even for everyone who wants to maintain the same experience for their communities.

    Why everyone speaking about exploits form 3rd party developers still? When someone did something like this? This is a definite exaggeration and I ask you to stop such claims.

    Curious about what will happen to the Marketplace forum will that go to read-only? There may be posts that are still valuable. In addition to existing reviews of said apps? Will this data be transferred to whatever takes the place of this?

    I don't think it is good idea  do this.
    Apple and google never think about  to close apple store and  google play.
     
    Marketplace is not making money or it is making more job . But It can make me go to this site everyday.

    How many devs have the time or are willing to go to the trouble to develop free/paid versions for each of their products?  This would run @Adriano into the ground methinks.....

    Unlucky reacted to LiquidFractal in Marketplace Closure   
    So unless I'm missing something, this means that if a developer doesn't have or is somehow unable to start their own independent website then they have no way to maintain their apps/plugins?

    Really?  I'm no expert but I find the last part of this sentence hard to believe given that there are many gaps in IPB functionality which necessitated the Marketplace community in the first place.

    I'm very upset InvisionCommunity is not pushing to be the #1 forum software available. Years ago it was vBulletin, they faded because they didn't adjust with times and ipb overtook them. Now  InvisionCommunity is in a GREAT position to expand and they decide to start "closing" features. From a business perspective, it makes no sense and your clearly missing data.

    I've been in the crypto space for 8 years now working NUMEROUS blockchain/crypto/defi projects. You know what they ALL have in common? They ALL use DISCOURSE (EWW) because they're unaware of other real enterprise compatible options. I wouldn't eve CONSIDER closing the marketplace until you've tapped into the very massive market you obivously haven't tapped into.

    The companies that ARE using Discourse and i present them InvisionCommunity, they feel they've been duped after realizing what i quality forum is. The marketplace is a HUGE sell point and i mean BIG. Companies wants to feel they can customize different features within their own world/ecosystem and the marketplace is the best way to do that. 

    If you expect enterprise grade companies to want to HUNT DOWN 3rd part addons and feel secure as opposed to current setup, i truly believe i can help InvisionCommunity and would like an e-mail i can reach.

    I just checked the marketplace stats, and with 59 mods purchased to date, I think I can have a word about this decision:
    For me, the marketplace was a great way to:
    See what new addons have been released and decide if I should install them on the community I manage. Keep up with the updates and install when one is available. These things will no longer be possible without the marketplace, and I will have to check ten different dev sites, install updates manually, etc.  A major drawback for me.
    I don't have access to financials, but from your latest actions, I see that you want to focus on the enterprise customers that take a cloud-managed plan because that's where the money is. And also, enterprise customers only install a few add-ons.

    That's the biggest rewind I've seen from IPS in years of service. 🤯
    The marketplace is an excellent showcase for small and big developers to publish their work that would have a potential chance of being bought, you've killed every chance for these products to be discovered.
    There are many small modifications that enrich the IPS, and now they will no longer have visibility.
    People will now have to apply for paid service one by one, for features that were already available in marketplace.

    Yeah I know what you are saying. My biggest concern is wayward authors who cant deal with setting up their own system or cant meet the 2 month deadline. We (paid addon customers) lose and we lost before when we lost the ability to back up and download directly before.
    The irony is pirates never need to worry about this stuff, just paid customers who lose.
    I dont want to sound like I am just trying to beat you down, I am just very concerned and can see a lot of issues especially with the short timeline.
    Will we still be able to get keys/method of transferring you speak of after October but not download in suite?
  14. Agree
    Unlucky reacted to sudo in Marketplace Closure   
    So basically if the author doesnt put another way for us to get it up we lose our purchases.
    I mean the timeline and warning should have been a bit longer. Losing the ability (an ability we had in the past) to download a copy thus losing our purchases for good is a bit nuts.
    I dont know why foot keeps meeting mouth with some of these changes.
  15. Agree
    Unlucky reacted to sudo in Marketplace Closure   
    Until the end of October?
    I mean we are all paid customers.
  16. Agree
    Unlucky reacted to sudo in Marketplace Closure   
    I would have hoped for a 6 month notice period to be honest not 2 1/2 months.
    Considering we cant download addons any more other than through admincp we cant even back up for a wayward plugin dev who is sick or unable to handle the change in 2 months.
    Please at least let us download what we own to self install for now.

    To Marketplace developers and the Invision community as a whole, I will be happy to host an independent and collaborative Marketplace directory.  It's already in the works.
    I fully support a thriving ecosystem of developers and clients: to extend, to inspire, and to push the boundaries of our platform. Technology is an important differentiator more than ever in the modern web, and working with developers (either privately or through their public mods) can help fine-tune your platform. 
     
    More information and invitations will be sent out to active Marketplace devs.  You are also welcome to send me a direct PM.  
    Follow this topic for any future updates.

    This is one of the major reasons we are having to migrate away from invision community after using them since the early 2000's.
    We will not be renewing any licences for the foreseeable future.
    The new plugin developer restrictions and rules are stopping developers offering new products like in the past.
    The steep increase in renewal costs and lack of new apps and plugins are to name another two reasons.
    This section used to be buzzing but it's like a graveyard now - Highest Rated Submitters
    That in itself should tell a story.
    Maybe one day if things could return to the good old days, we will return and renew a licence or two plus all of the plugins and app licences.
    Hopefully invision community will have it's Ouroboros moment and have a rebirth, as it has been our number one choice for a CMS as said, since the early 2000s.
