Curt:
It was my impression that Ad Muncher died and not has been updated for 1½ year, but I cannot be sure. Have they secretly been too busy maintaining, to keep any kind of history up to date? Or is the Ad Muncher concept so "timeless", that they don't need updating?
Josh:
Ad Muncher has not been updated in almost a year and a half (July 2012). Murray, their lead developer, has not been active on the forums since September 2012 (Last post, with only a single visit between March and November 2013). Any emails that come out from him keep pushing his new "leap touch" initiative. Jeff (list maintainer) keeps advising that they have no idea when 5.x will be ready and that it will be done "when it is done". Additionally, IE11 and Windows 8.1 support will not be ready until at least 5.0, according to their forums. So...yeah, make of that what you will.

Probably experiencing unmet expectations financially. THis started a while back when he began getting all tricky with his subscription pricings, being very unclear about what is "free" and what is not, what he means by "lifetime" and what others interpret it as.
mwb1100:
All I know is that while there haven't been program updates in a while, the database updates seem to keep coming. And the couple of times I've sent a problem report about a site not displaying well because of Ad Muncher, the next database update fixed the issue.
The big things that I've heard mentioned as problems are HTTP gzip support, HTTPS filtering and IE11 support. These aren't problems for me, but anyone considering a purchase should be aware of those things in case they might be important to them. The software works very well for me, regardless of the state of the support for those things (when I surf on a machine without it installed, it's painful).
Ad Muncher isn't cheap - in my opinion, the 50% off deal is what makes the price bearable, particularly if you're going for multiple licenses. I also opted for the Basic option, which helps with the price, but only gets weekly list updates instead of daily list updates. I think that's the only notable difference between Basic and Premium. There may be other software that works as well or better or cheaper (or some combination), but I haven't been driven to look for an alternative so I don't know if that's the case or not.
Finally, I don't think there's any problem with clarity of the lifetime license. The purchase page says (emphasis added):
How long would you like to receive new program and list updates?-https://www.admuncher.com/register.shtml

With a popup link explaining the "Unlimited updates" option:
Feature Details: Unlimited Updates
Unlimited updates means you get program and list updates indefinitely. No further purchase will ever be required, and you will be saved the trouble of renewing your license each year.
Ad Muncher has been continually updated since 1999 and isn't going away any time soon, so this is a worthwhile investment to ensure you continue to receive the best browsing experience possible.
