28,000+ Plugins & Themes.Unlimited. No Paywalls.No Corporate Bullshit.
Open source isn't supposed to feel like a casino or a trap. Here, you just get the code—no games, no gold memberships, no download caps.
Why Festinger Vault Exists
Let's be brutally honest.
I started Festinger Vault because I was sick of getting screwed by so-called "open source" clubs, sleazy download sites, and companies pretending they invented sharing. I use a wheelchair, but I run into more walls online than anywhere else in real life.
I got tired of it.
So I built a place where you just get what you came for.
No guilt. No drama. No secret handshake.

This is the Vault. You're in or you're out.
But if you're here, you're family."
How It Works (for Real)
1. Sign Up
No credit card, no survey, no nonsense.
2. Download What You Want
Unlimited. If you try to break it, I'll probably cheer you on.
3. Upgrade IF You Want
Tools, Not Code. Stuff like bulk download, collections, automation. Not fake access.
What Makes Us Different (No Buzzwords)
Unlimited is Unlimited
If I catch myself putting in a fake queue or daily limit, slap me.
No Code Sales. Ever.
If you want to pay, you pay for extra features—not for plugins/themes.
Legit GPL. No Shady Files.
No Automattic, Woo, or anything that'd make a lawyer's eye twitch.
Built for Outsiders
We flag junk. We roast bugs. We answer emails. We don't do corporate.
Human Support
Sometimes I reply before my morning coffee. Sorry in advance.

The Festinger Vault "Team"
We're a bunch of stubborn weirdos, mostly remote, mostly fueled by caffeine and spite.
I run this from a wheelchair, but the biggest obstacle I see is all the artificial bullshit online.
If you want perfection, look elsewhere.
If you want honesty and actual access, you're home.

My Promise
This project exists because nobody else had the guts to do it this way.
We're not trying to win awards or become "market leaders."
We just want you to get what you need and maybe laugh at the process.
If you're sick of limits, so am I.
Let's make open source feel open again.
