I'm just wondering, since it's considered "outdated". Since some of the most important mods in my modpack are either still in 1.7.10 or they're in newer versions, but none of them are the same version.
That mods are on 1.7.x because the modders are lazy or simply give up with modding.
And supporting a version released June 26, 2014 (4 years, 2 months according to timeanddate.com, 4 major versions behind) is just wasting precious disk and processing power of the forum, let alone time of Forge devs and moderators.
