videosift, the largest community built on pligg (with over 1 million monthly unique visits), emailed techcrunch today to announce that they have developed their own content management system and will discontinue using pligg.

VideoSift says their new platform is built exclusively for video aggregation and will serve their needs better than the Pligg software. They were also hesitant, they say, to continue to contribute to the Pligg open source project. They cite a “serious security breach” that compromised part of their database and was based on a simple exploit that shouldn’t have existed.

this news comes less than two weeks after the founders of the cms put pligg up for sale.
