 * The developer, who jokingly calls himself a “wordpress lead developer” no longer
   supports in any way, or updates the plugin.

 * Hello, troll.
 * There is no obligation to continue developing or supporting what was always a
   free WordPress plugin. I spent three or four years building it (I think), then
   moved onto other things. I enjoyed spending time on the plugin and engaging with
   the people who used it, and I’ll always look back at it fondly. I have no worked
   on the plugin for almost four years now, and no intention to do so in the future(
   at this point in time).
 * I have never called myself a “WordPress Lead Developer”; anyone who knows me 
   knows that contributing directly to WordPress is something I have absolutely 
   no interest in. I have been, however, a Lead Developer on the BuddyPress plugin
   for several years now, which is where I currently choose to spend most of my 
   free time.
