In reply to Leland Fiegel.

Like I mention in the announcement on thematictheme.com Ian and I came to the decision that the direction the development of Thematic in it's last year was better suited to exist as a fork.

I even attempted to patch the theme for current users but the consideration of backward compatibility as well as the demands of current theme review requirements, made it appear that'd we'd do more harm than good. The decision to move on and close the forums didn't come lightly.

Honestly, we should have forked it long ago when we had more momentum and support. Holding on to the name (mostly on my part) was what led to the community around it dispersing.
