several years after WP-SpamShield was forcibly removed from wordpress.org plugin directory, and then Akismet started keyword stuffing their plugin name and description in violation of wordpress.org own Rules, RedSand seems to have disappeared for good. they were briefly active selling the premium version of the plugin on their homepage, but look to have permanently closed the business and never relaunched it…

Scott was a military veteran too, just trying to get involved in the open source community after leaving the military. Matt is a f*****g a*****e.
