I've made overtures in their direction in the past but never could get a response, despite them having a responsibility to entertain any and all offers to purchase a unit.

Not currently interested. My plate is too full with assimilating SI.

In a few months, I might be interested again, but for a fraction of what we would've offered when we first tried to contact them to discuss a sale.

Aside from my being too busy to work on integrating them or even running them on their current platform, there's not a lot of motivation to own them now aside from preservation of message history. iHub is benefitting big from the exodus of RB users and while Matt has his hands full with some folks who think RB's rules (or lack thereof) apply everywhere, the metrics are skyrocketing and we'll likely have all of their userbase before too long.

Actually, the influx of new users has been so huge, I had to recently disable a few iHub features to conserve horsepower while we wait for a new webserver to arrive, then a load balancer. It'll soon be getting over a million page views per day and the current webserver just can't handle it.
