+      <p>There is a Github project for the Vamp Plugin SDK. <b>For
+      problems with the Vamp SDK</b>, consider opening an issue on

+      <p>Sadly the dedicated online discussion forum for Vamp plugins
+      has now closed, after we gave up fighting spam
+      registrations. The forum content is still online, but as a
+      static mirror of the original forum: it's no longer possible to
