This isn't an even trade off at all, and makes a 5 star site look 3rd class. I've contributed to this and even built other peoples site taking me days, and didn't put one mark on THEIR site.
Take the shoutbox for example, the MGV name is on the bottom of the shout, not TOO BAD, but it's not adding a line at the bottom of the forum, Microcart, same thing, it adds it to THEIR ADD ON's page, and not FORUMHOME...
Honestly, I would have used this, and commented on the above post, which may be helpful to some with and 2nd opinion on his claim, but can't see doing it now.
Just leaving you something to think on..

I'm more than happy to pay for good mods that I use, and I've paid for a TON of them. In this particular case there are MULTIPLE forms of branding that appear with the PAID mod that you need to manually remove, and even then it's not easy.

Like you. I don't want 6" of ads for other software at the bottom of my site.

What I do find interesting is all this branding in itself is an SEO technique. This mod helps the AUTHORS site more than it helps the site the software gets installed on.

I did file a dispute for my paid version of this mod and according to the author's site my payment was "refunded" even though it hasn't been.
