 * I’ve installed in 2008 and it was really good. A nice dark theme, good customizations.
   It was perfect for a professional website and it was updated after each core 
   update until August 2020.
 * Since its last update, nothing. The consequences are the theme has problems with
   Gutenberg blocks which bring JSON errors when update a page on backend and error
   500 on frontend. Also no compatibility with PHP 8. A lot’s of themes and plugins
   need to be updated for it, but i’ve no hope the theme will be updated now.
 * Even if you find it nice, avoid it, you can find similar themes which able to
   have a similar result, with developers who keep it updated.

 * Hello,
 * This theme is still being maintained and supported as of now.
    Updates for maintenance
   and compatibility are released on a regular basis when needed ; and so far the
   latest version from August 2020 is still fully compatible with the latest version
   of WP (5.7.2 at the time of writing). Our dedicated support forums are also still
   active.
 * We have not observed specific errors with Gutenberg, nor have had any user reported
   such errors. We would be happy to have a closer look and do our best to help 
   if you reach out through our support forums about any issue with this theme and
   any specific block.
 * We also have not found any issue with PHP 8. We wouldn’t advertise “100% compatibility”
   just yet, but one may consider “beta compatibility” with PHP 8 just like the 
   current version of WordPress itself.
 * Again, if you run into any issue, please do reach out and we will be happy to
   help!
