High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

I have this working on WP 3.8.1, buddy press in a member area in a group. Everyone spend the $ for the pro version the ability to size up is nice. And certainly worth the $ this author charges. Do NOT bother with going pro at TinyChat too. The features are not available to this plug in. Maybe John will get to that in a later vesrion. The only thing I wish was different and I don’t think it’s caused by this plug in is the ability to size up the fonts for those that are a bit visually challenged. It’s nearly impossible for some of my members to see the text without having to do all caps. Again that’s not this plug in’s problem… it’s tinychats. I’ll likely keep this version for my groups and find another service for the whole site depending on what I can find. In the mean time this will work. Thanks John!! Sylvia

A quick but brief history of myself, a couple years ago I was so blessed with my second son being born, at age 51 I was ever so proud. Not even 2 weeks afterward he needed emergency heart surgery to rebuild his heart because he was born with CHD. You can follow his story at [Link redacted] and 6 weeks later on our way back I became ill. Now I am fighting Kidney Disease stage 2 and numerous other things to battle and at least I am on long term disability making about 1000 a month to survive with a family of 4. My battle to stay alive is a long one and each small battle I win is in the right direction to fight this war. Nevertheless, the last surgery I had is a lifelong change and a new lifestyle. I created an online support group because there is none here–there are facebook pages and while they are neat, their really not so functional. Anyway, with the Help of this Plugin BuddyPress Group TinyChat, I was able to create a support group site that should make our group proud but most of all enjoyable to use and share information. Thank you for an awesome plugin.

This is the best wordpress chat plugin so far! It also supports Single-Sing-On. Automatic Login with your wp username also you don’t have to worry about your server anymore, it will not slow down your site. Really do what it says, the free plugin is good but the pro version he’s offering is the best, I can say so because I have it now. Thanks a lot 😀
