    In my opinion as an enterprise e-commerce software developer, and these opinions are not that of vbseo or crawlability, when people complain, it takes me longer to do it.

    Not because I'm putting it off, but because it gets me frustrated and I end up getting ticked off at the whole idea and go do something else instead to clear my mind of it.

    The staff has made mention 100's of times now that is in the works. When it's ready, it's ready. I realize there is probably not much involved on the forum owners end (just deleting some text) but on the vbseo side, there is a lot to keep track of, new licensing methods to create, billing systems to create, lawyers to contact (possibly) and tons of other administrative tasks that as forum owners we often overlook in realm of the bigger picture of what it takes to maintain an effective customer licensing system.

    vBSEO is small. There's what, 4 full-time guys behind it? With one or two main coders and the others handling more support/day to day issues, and then the coders get pulled to answer trouble tickets and provide the level of support that vbseo is known for. As a result, new things take longer to develop, test, and deploy.

    Running a fourm is 1000 times easier than creating forum software, maintaining forum software, providing customer support, accurate billing schedules, and so much more.
    I do both in my day-to-day life. By day, I develop, maintain, and support 5 of the larger e-commerce sites on the web ($100,000+ a day in sales). At night, I run 4 forums for my own benefit and hobby. And as a person who understands both worlds, I assure you that the corporate aspect is a much more time consuming task. Today, I billed 3 hours of dev work out of the 10 hours I was in the office. I kept getting pulled to answer this question, talk to this person, jump on this conference call, and help our junior-level coders with issues.

    My point is that I empathize with your request and nearly absurdly long waiting time, but I also empathize with the vbseo staff and know that they are doing what they can to continue the current level of support with an ever-growing customer base, and when time allows, continue to develop the product and add more features, such as the requested option.
