The reason why UBB.classic was discontinued is that it became internal competition with UBB.threads. There were some users of UBB.classic that refused to upgrade to Threads, and some users wanted a PHP version of UBB.classic. Infopop then planned a PHP/MySQL product that was supposed to replace UBB.classic and UBB.threads. It would have featured the look and feel of UBB.classic with some of the features of UBB.threads. In the end, much of the core of UBB.threads ended up being used. Former UBB.classic developer Charles Capps left Groupee afterwards. Since most forum software is now written in PHP/MySQL, it made sense to keep UBB.threads and drop UBB.classic. UBB.classic was simply uncompetitive with other forum software.

Just to let you know that the UBB.threads 7.x series is not a simple upgrade from older versions of UBB.threads; it requires an import. I would highly recommend UBB.threads over other forum software such as vBulletin.
