I am maybe a little bit old fashion, but I have seen too many PHPFusion sites gone away. These sites full of downloads, themes, addons, forum posts etc. For me V9 comes too early. Currently I am working on a Dutch translation for it, but having problems to get it installed, problems with themes, etc. Specialy the fact that there is no working upgrade script V7-V9 should be a no-go for release. In my opinon the release of V9 was too early. I Think the feature list was too long thus resulting in an long development time to get a stable release. During the development stage I saw many times a nearly finished part of the site completely rewritten and overhauled, which causes the development even take more time. So we ending up with a released V9, but the main site still working under V7.
With php-fusion.net I would like to extend the lifetime of PHP-fusion V7. And maybe when time is ready switch to V9 as well.
For php-fusion.com it's a shame people are doing this. I had such experience in my personal life too.
