The same as for the last 10+ years that the KVS Tool had been in existence -- to provide our Members with a comprehensive and powerful Tool.
The tool is a lot less comprehensive than before, and weaker. The Fares section is now pointless, and without an integrated availability function...what's the point? The canned answer is not really cool.
We are not sure what you are referring to
.
The fact that I have to use the mobile availability function (with its limitations).
That theme is a baseless and pointless rant, intertwined with made-up "facts". The Wikipost is not a part of the KVS Tool Thread and we see no merit in addressing it at this time.
I didn't contribute to the previous thread, I've made no qualitative statements on it, and the moderators closed it. The moderators also added the wiki, so I'm not going to go into detail on that, other than to comment that there must have been some dialogue between you and the moderators.
Being a KVS Tool Member since 2006, you must have, surely, witnessed the evolution of the Tool. Numerous new Methods and Functions were added, while some Engines ceased to exist, together with their corresponding Methods.
We always strive to add the relevant functionality, requested by our Members, and will make the relevant announcements, once it is appropriate to do so. However, we are unable to speculate about something that is largely outside of our control.
Yes, it has been a great tool up until a few weeks ago (and on that basis I'd be happy to renew). You can't deny that functionality has decreased, and the opacity around the whole business is not really helping your case. I do think it's time to fess up a little more.
