Yeah, I also bought the Pro version of Classifieds (and liked it) and so much for support now that he's gone underground. What makes me kinda makes upset is the statement below in his code BUT he's allowed to sell us something and guarantee support and all of a sudden close his page and that's that. All of this isn't fair...

<!-- THE CODE BELOW MAY NOT BE REMOVED OR LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN -->

I say screw it and remove it anyways! Not like he is around anyways.

It's times like these that I wish Jelsoft would do their own mods. Same sort of thing happened with vBMS (Mail System) .. you pay your money and get no support.

sigh ...

I'm in the UK so some action is harder for me to achieve, but for those of you in the US, why not try legal action against him? Especially as this affects many people, you could file for action as a collective, that should get more of a response.

I would also suggest writing as many reviews as possible on this person and his site. Stick to the truth and there's nothing wrong in doing that, places like ciao are a good place for this. This will make sure nobody else is suckered by this conman.

As for his legal statements about distributing code etc. while I myself don't consider breaking the law, is someone this dishonest going to persue you through court himself? Maybe some people would want to distribute the code or do pretty much whatever with it. He's shafted you...........

As for his reputation, how can he save that? He's a known cheat and he's conned us out of money. If anyone has a home address for this person, please feel free to post it or PM it to me.

Thanks

The website is back up! In fact he's back in business!!

http://www.dopegfx.com/

He appears to have changed his business, but he's still working obviously. This is a complete con!

He's ripped us all off and now moved to a new line of business with the same web address.

I think it's time I made his customers aware of what they are dealing with.

This kid has some nerve.

That site had always been up... The one he shut down is here:

http://www.siteresort.com/

For those that are interested, I started a rather poor forum (Man I hate phpBB after using vB) at http://www.eazyforums.com and I have shared some of my fixes there, I have also posted the complete list of the bugs and fixes for the classifieds in the form of a PDF of his archives.

I am about ready to just recode this fng script and we we can start fresh as this is just a frustrating mess... The classifieds are working on my site but my code is realy heavily modified...
