I just got off the phone with Vipul, and he's coming back, TOMORROW! (well hopefully). He really apologizes for not being on in a while. Apparently, his computer broke and then he sent it back to Dell to get it fixed. It was supposed to come 2 weeks ago but it kept getting delayed and he hopes/thinks it will come tomorrow!
He also said that he has been working on the phalanx update, and he hopes to release it in december. He did say that he will be releasing screenshots to some of the cool updates when he comes back so you guys can keep on the lookout for that. He told me of a couple of the great features he plans to implement so it will be awesome! I would tell you all about them, but I don't think he would want me to release it all to the public, sorry
It's pretty pointless for me to release this information because its like 11:04 PM and tomorrow is very close by, but after a 3:15:15 hrs long conversation, I felt like saying something!! Thats especially why I found this conversation funny. I was laughing my ass off when he said he was coming tomorrow, basically I called him for no reason!
.. but it was good. I got to know him a little more 
(he's like a cool friend now ... ahh the mushy feelings lol XD)Oh yeah, and btw, he was the one who fixed the virus/trojan attack. Like I said, he had no computer access, he's just using up his old busted Linux computer and he can only access command line. I have no idea what command line is but he said it's like MS DOS but with internet support (w/e that means). So basically he's only been able to access the main page of the ipbfree support forums. He can't post but he can read. To view, he had to download the pages and read the content (which is a pain in the ass). But, something I am proud of, he said he had no idea what was going on and didn't really understand what the problem was until he read my topic which explained everything (link). He claims that that was the only post that basically explained everything and after reading it, he understood the problem and was able to fix it. I hope this teaches people that when you need help, leave a descriptive post as to what is going on so you can get better help.
Anyways, Hope to see him tomorrow! If he doesn't come tomorrow, please redirect people to this post so they know what's going on. I might just end up posting it on the support forums tomorrow if he doesn't come!
Update: Vipul has now returned. If you can view his announcement post: http://ipbfree.com/home/blog/2007/10/23/deep-apologies/
