In 2015, a group consisting of only four individuals, myself included, acquired ownership of a dozen plugins from Sergej Mueller, who decided to completely depart from WordPress. One of those plugins was “Antispam Bee”.

After only one year the other three left and with great support from the community the group (“”pluginkollektiv””) has fluctuating team members over the following years.

Now, after 9 years, we raised the 200.000 active installations to 700.000 and “Antispam Bee” is still around. There is a big overhaul coming in v3 started at the Cloudfest Hackathon.

How do we have solved this without a paid team? Where do we have struggled? A history tour about great achievements and many mistakes.
