Developers ignoring cash offers?

[kevcj]

Its not very often that I post here, but I just wanted to rant a little.

I have read about some developers not getting the types of donations they were expecting, or people using the mods and not donating.

Twice in the last month I have contacted two different developers and asked them how much would it cost for a brand free option? Neither developer has even responded. What is up wit that guys and gals - here I am with the cash, just name your price (within reason) and its yours.

I see a lot of developers posting how they are not making any money off their labor. What do you expect when some developers ignore people like me?

I would rather give a developer $25 for the brand free option, then donate $5 and use the mod with the branding. So which one would the developer prefer?

I'd rather be ignored than a response like this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=28
Here was my long winded reply back in hopes to defend myself with my LEGITIMATE reasoning (as if I were on trial): https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=37
I've since uninstalled the mod after feeling like I was targeted as unappreciative (maybe it was just me...who knows for sure...).

I've donated to several mods here (sometimes more than once for the same mod!)...and many mods that I've donated to are not even available or supported any longer...which makes me think twice about installing or donating anymore. I cringe at the thought of installing a great mod, donating to it, and then it disappearing or becoming incompatible or insecure or not supported or becoming a paid "encrypted" mod, etc....you get the idea.

I thought a donation was a gift from which you received no benefit? Unless it's definition has changed now-a-days. Its up to each developer to choose what they want to give you , if anything, in return for you donation.

(CallieJo2) Maybe it would have been wiser for you to Private Message them and ask if you could remove copyright if you gave a small donation beforehand, then you can donate without all this rubbish that you seem to have pulled up with it.

(kevcj) I don't see what it is people...you've contacted two developers and no you assume that no-one does work for money? It is up to the individual developer to decide whether they want to accept the money in return for giving you a branding free modification. Not all developers are script kiddies in their bedroom that are desperate for money some people already have jobs and money, and do need to sell their modifications.

Remember a donation is a gift, you are not paying for a contract so don't expect one.

There are two sides to every story just thought I'd give you a bit of the other .

Rubbish, eh?

First off, I did not offer to donate. I asked "HOW MUCH" to remove the copyright. Many mods that have a link back to them offer a copyright removal option. Most scripts outside of vb do also. So in light of what's considered "Normal" even outside of VB, I asked how much. And being asked "don't I deserve credit for my hard work" when I'm offering to pay for that copyright removal is in itself RUBBISH!

How is my reply rubbish? I'm sure there are others who are interested in copyright removal as well. So PM-ing to ask a question that others might want to know the answer to, would have actually been a rubbish way of doing it.

Maybe you should think before you respond....I find your reply rather rude.
