1) Whats wrong with purchasing the Copyright Removal addon at 75 during the promotion, your explanation does not really explain how a purchaser is affected by this, and what should be done.
When you are returned to the site it will say "Failed" for the status. Simply do not repurchase it. I will most likely spot it on my own because I monitor the purchases daily (and will be especially after the sale), however feel free to submit a ticket noting that you purchased the CP Removal and it shows "Failed" and I'll be glad to fix it (of course I do verify them and so on, our system just doesn't automatically process the addon purchases).

2) I take it only one or two are involved in this, how committed are you to this project, it would be a let down to purchase a perpetual license to have this service dissapear next year.
We've stated that if for some reason we were to abandon the project, the unencoded sources would be released to the community. We don't forsee that happening however.
Yes, we're a small company at this time, however we don't have enough business through this particular venture to justify full-time staff or anything of that nature. You start at the bottom and work your way up, right?

3) Hows your timeline commitment to releasing working versions as IPB releases newer versions of its forum. If IPB releases a new version today that breaks older versions of your software, do you see yourself releasing an updated CommunitySEO within days, a week, a month of the IPB release?
While we haven't run into the issue yet, it would depend upon the IPB update. If they released a relatively minor update (i.e. 2.3.4 or 2.3.5) we would likely have an update out within days. If it was a major update however, I'd say within a week to be safe.
Whenever the mysterious 3.0 comes out I would recommend allowing us to look at it and update our software appropriately before upgrading - we will naturally need the time and ability to update our software, as 3.0 is going to be an entirely new code base from what I understand.

4) Im currently using FURL with URLs that look like this
http://www.example.c..._Plus-t410.html . Would I be able to keep that exact format using CommunitySEO? (note its Ares_Galaxy_P2P_Plus-t410.html , with underscores)
Yes, your particular url format is practically identical to the one we use (and underscores/dashes is configurable). With 1.2 the software will go a bit further and allow customization of the url, to a degree, as well.

5) Does CommunitySEO work in complete segregation to what Skin is being used? Im contemplating using a heavily customized skin, would that cause any problems/clashes of any kind?
There are some features that require one line insertions into your skin, however all of the mod_rewrite and duplicate-url checking work independently from your skin. Things like the Similar Topics and the Social Networking icons require additions like
<!--SIMILAR_TOPICS-->
to be added where you want them displayed, however.

PS: Please add the latest version number and release date to your frontpage at
www.communityseo.com , as its a pain to have to go through the forum just to find out whats the latest release.
Not bad idea. We will have a release within the next 1-2 days (a minor one) and I'll try to do so then.
