    The comments on the support thread are, as always, interesting. http://en.forums.wordpress.com.....nt-pilcrow

    I admit the new theme looks nice and modern, but outright stating that part of the reason is because the theme author violates GPL is … squidgy. One part of me is glad they’re saying it because it’s a valid reason. The other part feels like it’s a bit of a witch hunt :/ Awkward sauce.

      Oh, it’s 100% down to Matt’s personal grudge against Chris and as such a massively unprofessional move, but then if your blog lives on someone else’s server you’re always going to be at the mercy of their whims. It’s probably good for wordpress.com users to be reminded of this fact every so often, though I could really do without the rhetoric about its out-of-dateness when there are some seriously crappy pre-2.0 themes on there left intact.

      I do advise wordpress.com users who are especially attached to their theme to download a backup copy from the repository so they can use it on a self-hosted install if necessary.

    What a joke, how petty from WordPress to remove this theme in this way. I had a very basic site and didn’t need the update, but I wasn’t given an option to stay as I was. STUFF YOU WORDPRESS GUYS! I’ll now throw my support behind Thesis and move over to them asap.
