I just totally don't get how someone could seem as nice as Chio and then leave everyone high and dry. Do you have any idea where he went and when/if he is coming back? I got the impression that ABP made enough dough that just bailing seems bizarre.

I don't even really understand how a previously working script could suddenly get as messed up as ABP and I really don't understand why all the support logins to get proper downloads and all would be disabled. Wouldn't someone have to actively do something to break previously working scripts?
I don't understand why Chio would leave anyone high and dry either. It didn't really seem like his way of operating. On a personal level, I've always respected the way he handled people. On a business level, obviously, I don't have such warm fuzzies, but that's water under the bridge for me.

I can't really speak to what happened with the code. I know that another coder "took over" when Chio and I parted ways, but I didn't give my permission for that to happen, so I'm not entirely sure how it all wend down. I still have the source code to the product, but if I put out another script like it, I'd probably start over entirely.

Everything Chio touched turned to shit even if he made the best chops?

I wouldn't go near anything he was associated with again - he's 0 for 3 !
That's a pretty harsh assessment, spunk! What projects were 0-3? ABP, Bliggo, and Verified Charge? I thought Verified Charge was doing its thing and all that? Did that go belly up? The only fishy part about it I ever saw was the "Contact" page with all of the "offices" listed .. kind of cracked me up. Other than that, I thought it was up and running .. did they go under or something?
