That's a laugh, you want to profit from others work and steal money out of peoples pockets.

I don't, I haven't gained any personal benefit from it as everything is free, thank you

I think the topic should stop here as I have explained in the comments in this thread. Thank you everyone.

Um, yes, anything you can imagine someone doing, somewhere out there in the world are people doing it.

This makes me very, very sad
And not just scumbags........
Any software can be cracked, it's a matter of time and desire from the right people! Even a price of $600 couldn't stop iNout from being cracked and almost all of their scripts were shared. This personally discourages me from creating addons and styles for Xenforo and any system.
Are there really such users???
I tried it for the templates
It didn't work 
These ones here, for example.... They don't have my permission to share my add-ons, nor to sell them (given that I myself released it for free)!

Rule #14:
So you should remove all of the addons immediately.

That does not matter, he is also redistributing official XF addons and releases.

That's why, I am disappointed that @Ozzy47 told me, that was illegal to do ioncube. I have abandoned my add-on development and will not release my add-on for popular in the future. I'm done with all pirate b*t*rd. They make my heart pain when I see my add-on was stolen from anywhere sites. I was not happy.This makes me very, very sad

No it’s not yours, it’s just another user like yourself stealing and conducting illegal activity.

That still wouldn’t be a 100% accurate.
You can sit on here and watch known pirates visit an addon on here, then within a minute or two, watch it show up on their site.
You can also look at the users download history and see what they downloaded showing up on their sites in a day or two.

Then the add-on will not be published here on XenForo.com and so on.....We can't use it here, it would violate the resource standards.
Resource standards
The guidelines within are the minimum expected standards to be adhered to when releasing products in the Resource Manager here.xenforo.com
Dear scammer, the screenshot is to show that there are brazen people who sell even the free add-ons. And the fact that it's not your forum is all the same, because it's proven that you're one of the people who make fun of the developers' work, be ashamed, shut up, and delete your entire forum. Get a new domain and start fresh, but properly, with honor.
Yes, I know what you're talking about. It hurts.
why wouldnt people be able to access them? unless they didnt have a valid XF lic....

Yes.....
That's why before rebuilding my forum I banned almost all users who had logged in, downloaded and disappeared Now I'm waiting for them again and I'll ban them again. Yes, it's not easy, but it's worth it 
And when they buy a new license, and they are 1000000000% legal I will ban them AGAIN. And when they buy a second-hand license I will ban them again. And every time these users come and try to register on my forum, they will be banned. And so on

Well, that's true. If AI smart is exist and handle with XF, I'm sure AI can monitor/catch pirate people in real-time, I don't think that will happens in the future. Means to be impossible is nothing but possible.
Yeah, I felt have same for other developers that feels hurt when someone steals their add-on that who have worked hard and created feature that make looks more great and intelligent than pirate stupid are.Then the add-on will not be published here on XenForo.com and so on.....

Exactly I would tell them: Get a job and buy a XenForo license. Isn't that difficult for life?

Brother, you're not helping the XF community. You're taking money for paid addons, which means less money is going to the developers who created them, and that means those developers will have less incentive to keep developing addons - and that means fewer choices for the whole community in the long run. Plus, if you think about it, it's the kind of thing that incentivizes businesses to move to a subscription-only "service" model. Do you really want Xenforo to end up as yet one more software you really just "rent" to use?

Because he wants to provide users who do not have access to the resources of XenForo.com, in other words, do not have a license.... And why the hell should I(he/she not I
), share them with anyone? If anyone wants these add-ons, they should go to the respective developer, not to someone who wants to make easy money off someone else's back.....
