I would be the first to complain when some kid rips the credits/linkback off of free software. But DDLCMS isn't free. You just pay with forced ads instead of money.
Let's clear something up right here. Forced ads? Not free?
- The user is FREELY ABLE to edit and replace or remove EVERY Sharingzone ad that somes in the script, via the Admin CP (hell, you can put LD ads all over for all I care).
- There is only two things we don't want changed:
- One (1) sponsored search result
- One (1) text linkback to DDLCMS, that's it!
- We already addressed the auto-responder email issue, you can TURN IT OFF in the coming release of the script
So what's the problem here? Why does someone need to (as crucifyndi3 said) disgrace, and disrespect, all the work that went into this script by making such a post?
The script is free to download and install with FREE tech support, in spite of:
I, and my dev. team, have put in thousands of $$$ and hundreds of hours into making this script as versatile and customizable as possible for all scene webmasters who wish to use it (you will see this a lot more in the coming release, which will be launched with 7 new premium skins).
We've taken action on EVERY SINGLE MOD/REQUEST that came from everyone, and spent our time putting them all to effect in (coming release) the script.
Realistically, you could install the script,
be able to fully modify the header, left pane, right pane, footer, LE, instant LE, Partners, Blacklist, Whitelist, VIP sites, auto allow -- you get the picture, and
you can remove every ad or change them all to whatever you wish, with the exception of one sponsored search result, and the linkback at the bottom.
For a free script, with free tech support, free installation (mind you, which is fully customizable and skinnable), with only SOME parts of it encrypted -- is that such a crime? ^o)
I am to be ok with some n00b goon coming to WJ and posting how to decrypt my work? And listen to JmZ bashing again? What about respect?
JmZ: lashing out at JmZ was not a good thing to do -- I admit. I sincerely apologize (bug ffs, stop bashing my work in your sly little way).
Frankly, you could decrypt the script and use it and I wouldn't give a rats ass. Posting something like this (first post), and you're crossing the line. Jumping on the bandwagon with it, again -- where is the respect?
All I wanted to point out was if you make a post like this one, you are dissing me. If you diss me, you will be in my bad books. Should I be persecuted for that?
I am a good person, I realize what the scene is about, and I respect everyone -- that's what life is about -- nulled VB or not, decrypted script or not.
