it was joke.... apparently over your head. :)

Im not trying to be argumentative, Im genuinely curious what you mean "they hijacked it". Wasn't this all started by Ethan Galstad? If he is the owner of the Nagios company, and the company controls the nagios-plugins domain, how did they hijack it?

Agreed, NetSaint was much better. But at least they didn't call it Icinga. :)

I would argue that they are doing this in the best interests of us, not shitting on us. I for one am glad to see the old maintainers go. They have not been very supportive of us (the community). They constantly had a god-like attitude and seldom helped if anyone had run into an issue. The only people that ever seemed to help were the Nagios company employees.
