i have a warez xenforo, multiplayernet.it sorry I do not wanttrouble,you tell mehow to buythe licenseandupgrade withoutlosing thethreads?
i'm italian, sorry for my wrong english.
Nice, associating piracy with rape.I am glad you say you are buying a license, but it's nothing more than a promise until some moderator here confirms the user is showing up as a licensed one. Secondly, I find it pathetic you are willing to say sorry for English not being your first language, which appears to be on the same level of sorry for breaking copyright law; And then asking us to not 'denounce' you. I don't understand what the expected human response is supposed to be; Remorse? Because you buy a license?
It's like breaking into someone's house and using their stuff, and then leaving a note saying you're sorry and you will ask to borrow it in the future. Or date-raping someone and then ringing them saying you're sorry but you're now willing to be their friend.
If you're sorry, buy a license, pay for an extra year of support. Pay the fee for removing the copyright and then leaving it in. And pay them to install it on your site. It's not even 1% of what they could get if they would sue you for damages.
If you do not want to get 'denounced' by the community here for pirating it in the first place, maybe you shouldn't have posted the message in the first place. You should have realized that others here have invested quite a bit of money and resources into buying licenses and what not. It's simply irking me when I read this, and since it's a public discussion in a public forum, I see no reason why I can't express being upset over it. Especially when you start whining 'please do not be mean to me'.

Not only do you use plugins that are obviously pirated...
You're using a theme by someone I wonder if you downloaded it properly...
Not to mention it seems PC games are downloadable, for starters...
Oh, and the copyright of xenforo is removed from the footer...
I don't know how "sorry" you really are, if at all, nor am I personally convinced that you will invest a penny more than you technically owe them.
At what point did you go: Ok, I am "really" sorry for my actions, I want to do right .. Let's remove the pirated content from my site, restore the copyright in the footer, turn the site off .. until I get my license. Not only out of regret/remorse, but perhaps out of respect.
Your hosting provider doesn't seem to support hosting files that are infringing on copyright; http://misterdomain.eu/pdf/CondizioniGeneraliDiContratto.pdf Nor does the data center where misterdomain.eu is housed.
As 'mean' as I might sound now, or perhaps I upset/frustrate you with what I say. But you started a discussion about this very particular matter after we pay money for our license because we value it for what it's worth. And your argument is 'but I (might) pay for it soon', as if that suddenly makes everything alright.
I am not going to apologize for expressing myself louder than some others might wish to do in this thread.
Man up, ignore my comments, go to the purchase page, and invest in the future of your web site. You will end up sleeping better, and you will enjoy running a community that you can care for using software that's worth paying for. Then you don't have to feel bad getting comments like mine. Or get frustrated with not getting the remorse or whatever you were looking for.
Thank you for the opportunity to let me respond to your comment with my personal opinion of what I think about people pirating first, .... It's not like XenForo.com doesn't offer a demo you know ..
fundamental truthThat site barely has 10active users, why even report? LOL

Floris was making a point. A very solid point. However, in today's PC world..there are bound to be those who are easily offended.Nice, associating piracy with rape.
I can totally relate to your signature right this moment.
I also do not agree with the whole lynch mob attitude of many people on this forum. Yes, the OP pirated the software, but he is buying the license. Is it right for members of this forum to mob together to throw stones?Floris was making a point. A very solid point. However, in today's PC world..there are bound to be those who are easily offended.
I don't view it so much as internet cop....but more as a community letting it be known that as a collaborative whole...we do not like people stealing from the community.
If your addon or theme was being used on his site , I would say the same in your honor.
I don't want anyone stealing from here...and at the same time I don't want a potential legit customer of this site or it's members to leave because they feel attacked.
I only found out about forums one day because of a member of this forum who was running a software title at the time which was popular. I went from there to "the usual places" and downloaded a copy and got some free hosting and tested the waters. The person who was running the site had something going on that allowed me to take part in something a bunch of people were going to burn to a disc and put in their (gaming console) and I could think to myself "I helped there". That felt good...so good in fact that I donated to the site running (unnamed forum software) and then bought a legal copy of (said software) and never ran a real site with the license and just sold it recently because of some dirtbaggery that surrounds them that I wish not to be associated with.
In the end what I am saying is I was one of those pirates. (though if you want to get technical I find the name pirate offensive because pirates plunder pillage and rape...rather I illegally downloaded that software and it made me feel the need to go buy it.)
I agree the rape thing was a little much but the point holds water, the only difference being that if a person is using stolen goods and is willing to make good on it we should have nothing bad left to say to him once he makes good on his word because as long as he pays for it the issue is done where as rape causes permanent damage. My mother was raped when she was young...nothing Floris said offended me as it was meant as comparison with the correlation slightly cloudy. On the other side of things if I were alive to hear someone I cared about saying someone raped them...going to jail would be freedom for that attacker assuming I didn't get myself sent to the same correctional facility....so I agree with your point 100%, rape is too serious to be compared to in a public fashion in this way.
However before we set a bad example and start fighting in front of people that we are trying to help come to an understanding..we should all just agree that if the op is as good as his word then all parties slighted by this instance of downloading will be compensated for and we will have one more member happy to be here. This would also mean one more person advocating going legit.
The last thing this place needs is longtime members fighting with each other.
What about the style? And if they are stealing from here they ARE stealing from us. I'll give you a second to do the math.
"Lesser evil" concept
By some of software producers , illegally copying software is seen as a "lesser evil" than actually buying or illegally copying a competitor's software. Jeff Raikes, a Microsoft executive, stated that "If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." He also added [8] that "We understand that in the long run the fundamental asset is the installed base of people who are using our products. What you hope to do over time is convert them to licensing the software." In a different case, Microsoft has admitted that piracy of its Windows operating system has helped give it huge market share in China that will boost its revenues when these users "go legit." Bill Gates said, "It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not."[9] He has also said in reference to China:
As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.
—Bill Gates[10]
Witty...anyways.I'll give you a second to realize we don't own XenForo or the style he may be using illegally.
Witty...anyways.
Do you not care if someone else loses money...even if it may effect you in the long run? Would you not help a victim of a crime given the chance?
Not that I feel the need to defend myself...but for conversations sake...to translate the last line of my message to the OP..
Everyone deserves a chance...and this is my way of saying that you still have one to make things right.
I belong to a HUGE filesharing community. Because I care....there is NO nulled copies of xf on the network there. In fact the only way you can have a file removd from these servers and them respect it is if you are the file owner. I contacted the admin there and plead them my case which they heard with a very open mind and they ensured me as a loyal member to their site and (not the owner of said material)...ALL attempts to share XF there would be squashed. 1 year and not even a stutter-step on that promise to me. That is caring. That is what the people who voice here are doing ...just in their own way in a different situation.
There was no mob mentality in what I said to him in his native tongue to make sure HE understood what I meant for him to. If there is any solemness in his words he will do as he has said.
For what ever reason you changed your subject I do not know, but it is none of our business if people use nulled/warez copies of XenForo, Kier/Mike/Ashley will handle it however they handle it, we have no jurisdiction of the case.
Also once he buys his copy of XenForo, XenForo Ltd will not have lost money, as they are getting the money they should have received when he first made his site (or before that).
Also to be honest, bringing up the filesharing community story wasn't really necessary, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand, which by I said in the first quote/reply I made in this thread was that Floris comparing this to rape or anything else like that was uncalled for.
