Today I decided to let all my modules here
unsupported, as I seen that most members dosen't respects my work, the time that I spent to develope and support them. Worst of all they don't respect even the laws.
I didn't asked anything in exchange. No money, not even to register in my site as most other developers ask for. What I asked, and I was expecting to find from their side, is a small gredit to me as a person, by letting my copyright in place.
Unfortunatelly, doing a simple search in Google (anybody can check it) for "vbulletin memberindex" I found dozens of sites having removed my copyright. Thank you all of you my dear. You're giving a shit to the only rule that I put. But I'm wondering why you don't dare to remove Jelsoft's copyright. Because it's a big company while I'm just a single person, much more, a woman. My congratulations men!!
One of them was so cool that registered in my site and post:

i saw this on vbulletin.org and thought i'd like to point something out here.
copyrighting a vbulletin addon? and trying to charge to remove the link?
heres a tip for you, rewrite the copyright to ITS FREE, DO WHAT YOU WANT. and go for a donation based system.
because guess what, thats just shitty. ++++ copyrights. specially for a addon to a forumsoftware.

Of course I don't plan to punish all other honest members who respected me. I'll continue posting most of my modules for free, I'll continue supporting them, but on my site only or to sites which accept encoded modules. Free yes... But not with visible source code any more. It's my intellectual property and I'll protect it.
Classifieds and MemberIndex will continue unencoded as they're right now. But unsupported.
Thank you for your understanding (this goes to honest users).
