Adverts now... But what next...

[mywaytoo]

This is what I have written on my Forum, under 'Welcome'... LOL...

"So Nabble need another programmer? Funny that! They have finally released information about their next software version... so why employ someone now when most of the work is done? Obviously they are anticipating an additional workload... Hmmm... And they have just put up the price for Premium Support... Hmmmmmm... They are expecting people to be asking for help with their new NAML coding... Aaaah!

I’m far too suspicious now, to leave that notion unexplored, and I’ve come up with a few ramblings that might be of interest...

NAML is Open Source... once someone has coded it, we can all copy it... OR NOT!"

The rest is posted on here.

Edit: Er... it's not going to the correct post... You need to scroll down to the reply to that post...

Anne,

I'm not even sure how I should start this reply....

1st, no application is ever finished. Apps that do not grow in features tend to lose users to competitors. This is why google apps are always in beta, for example. We do not need you to test things for us. We do it ourselves. Unfortunately, given the nature of software, it is mathematically impossible to prove that something works. So, from time to time, an user could bump into a bug, not only on Nabble but anywhere. How many bugs do you get using windows? Do you feel you are Microsoft's tester?

Yes, we expect people to ask for help. You can do it right here on free forum.

NAML is a language. It is open source. Nabble itself is written in an open source language. That doesnt mean that what you build is open source. These are entirely different concepts. But for sure we wont charge you to use your own code.

Credits are not currency. Credits are page views. If you buy 1.000.000 credits with $125 you will find out that each credit costs you $0.000125. Now, tell me, how do you expect ppl to understand why are we decrementing things so small? and the more you buy, cheaper are the credits so they would decrement also at different paces... well, nothing you are saying is making any sense so far. So 1 credit is 1 page view. If you buy X credits you have X page views. Even if we increase the credit price in the future, what you bought is already yours so it would make any difference for the money you already spent.

You really sounded like if you were doing everything to help us for free and now we want to make profit over your work. That's not the case. We are providing a free service (free as in no costs for you but we do have costs to provide it) and you are using it for free. That's it.

I won't say a word more about this subject.
