That’s right, what was portrayed as a done deal is a nogo. Nick Wilson says:
After much discussion, we’ve decided that the deal proposed by PayPerPost just isnt right for us or our community. It’s regrettable that we should part ways as I still feel that Dan and Ted are stand up guys breaking new ground, but in the end, the deal was just not right for them or us.
I have no idea who screwed up here, but to go out and talk about a deal before it’s 100% done is just plain stupid.
Nick also tells us that the Metrics service will be open source’d, and that ScribeFire still is the new name for the Firefox blog editor that Performancing have been offering.

I think the release of the info about the sale before it was done is actually what saved everyone involved. There was a lot of upheaval over the sale and I think that is essentially what made the management of Performancing decide against selling and instead opting to continue as they have been.
