Default DChapman is wearing out the "Zoints" name
I don't know why it bugs me but for every hack DChapman makes he puts "Zoints" in front of it. Does anyone feel the same?

Well so would i if i had put as much time and effort into something, most of the zoints hacks are really good.If it means you have to have links to zoints in your forum then so be it.The hacks are free, would be different if you had to pay.

Doesn't bother me... His products are useful, they are free, he's very helpful and one can choose to use them or not.

nothing wrong with it .. in fact I support such naming convention; it's the best form of promoting your product/business/service

I agree, he works for/at/owns the Zoints network. They take their time to release the quality hacks they make here for everyone.

No such thing as "wearing out" your brand.

Must admit I feel the same way. But then I suppose you can't blame him.

It's called marketing. Annoying as heck but it's part of the world we live in.

Personally yes, I find it irritating that "zoints" seems to crop up all over the place - but that's marketing for you. They produce some good stuff, it's only natural they would want to brand it.
