Throughout 2008, CES Event Forums evolved into a planned VaultWiki software plugin, which would have also added an Event namespace to VaultWiki that integrated with the forum calendar, and would have been sold like other early VaultWiki plugins, such as CES VaultWiki Special:Categories. By April 28, 2009, the plugin had been renamed CES VaultWiki Events, with an anticipated release to coincide with the launch of the VaultWiki 3.x series.
Even though Cracked Egg Studios required the functionality for some of its existing forum data, little development time was allocated to this add-on, so it never reached a state where it could be released. This add-on was never officially cancelled, so there is still the possibility it will be revisited in the future.
