It has been a bumpy ride but I'd like to share some news and updates regarding this website and development of various products. As many likely noticed, the Nulumia.com shop and forums were not frequently updated and many products fell behind in versioning. This period hit the worst during the height of the pandemic when several team members had to step away from assistance, and continued development at normal pace suffered but recovered slowly since that point.
I believe it is fair to disclose that it was in consideration and discussion to move Nulumia Xenforo products (both current and unreleased / in-development) to another trusted developer in the Xenforo space, who would continue work on these products.
However, things have been recovering and development is ramping back up to full and normal operation. With a new assistant on board and nearly the full library of products being updated, there's still a lot of work yet to even hit the shop.
Unreleased products
Part of the reason to continue full development is the sheer amount of unreleased work for Xenforo which is still in the pipeline, including some massive addons which I believe would not reach their proper vision and goal under another developer. Some of these unreleased themes and addons include:
Website refresh and spam removal
We'd also like to apologize for the wave of spam that hit the site, which has been thoroughly cleaned out and new anti-spam measures put in place. Parts of the shop and forums have also been cleaned up to be a more simple experience.
A note on XenPorta Improvements
A very widely asked question is what happened to updates regarding this addon. XenPorta Improvements was very popular here and at Xenforo.com, but being a free addon, suffered some of the worst during down-scaling during the pandemic and loss of team members. This was also due to the addon going through a major overhaul and heavy feature change during that time, which made it very difficult to push working updates for newer versions of XenPorta.
This addon will absolutely continue and work is on track to launch the unreleased updates.
A note on SEO & Index Tools
This very massive addon has been in invite-only beta phase for over a year now, and has still not met public release. This was not only due to the affected and down-scaled development period, but also due to the sheer amount of changes under the hood. Work has consistently continued with this addon and is now nearing a more appropriate public release.
