Hi Jeff,

Thanks for this post which has allowed many to comment about the YM situation.

I've exchanged emails and forum posts many times with Glenn Pegden, who has been the nicest and kindest competitor (he used to work for YM then) I've ever met! Glenn and I (disclosure: I'm the co-founder & co-developer of DigitalAccessPass) have been more than cordial, and exchanged kind words and words of praise many times on competing forums. We've always felt that YM and DAP have been two of the most well developed membership plugins, and we competed with grace and respect. I've also crossed path with Tim Nash online, but we've never officially met (hi, Tim!).

Tim & co, what you guys have done in making your code open-source is really a very honorable and commendable thing. You could've easily gone the route of trying to sell it for a few bucks (another plugin Memberwing recently shut down and sold for like $4K on flippa) to someone who may or may not have cared for your software or customers the way you did.

So you kept your customers at the forefront, and kudos to you guys for that.

If there's anything at all that my team and I at DigitalAccessPass can do for you or your customers, please let us know and we'll be happy - and feel honored - to be a part of it.

Cheers and good luck with your future endeavors. Hope to cross paths again in the future.
