I must admit, I Get a headache reading the first post, so, to clarify....
******* is accused of stealing images from another user (The rank images), which they admitted to and apologized for
But they're also accused of owning or being a part of a forum which shared/shares nulled copies of Xenforo and Xenforo addons? Is that about it in a nutshell?
Either way, after that fiasco about call backs in *******'s addons and them blocking the ability for people to uninstall their addons, I can't say I'm surprised to see further accusations of wrong doing.

*******'s old install/uninstall process allowed the execution of arbitrary php and sql pulled from ******* site at install/uninstall time, not just polling all installed addons. Silently.
It would be trivial to use that functionality to rip addons from someone's site when they installed a booby-trapped addon with a backdoor.

This is all quite damning... There's no way I would touch any of *******'s add-ons.
?? This is so small I can't even read it.

Why can't this thread stay on the third party site?

No one's forcing you to read, let alone reply to it.

why does someone need "server callbacks" in his Addons ?
to protect from others nulling his Addons ?
I would never install any Addon (even if it is free) when I know of any "server callbacks".

Ironically, given that the code reads all add-ons on your server and could execute arbitrary code, he could very well use it to pirate all add-ons from your own server.

It's just that the accusations started over there, I don't see why the explanation can't be made over there.No one's forcing you to read, let alone reply to it.

Well, that's that out the window then
The only post he has made on TAZ was caused by the last 'incident' with him.

There's one thing to be safe never use ******* addons.

There was no valid reason to ban them for the add-on callback issue as prior to that there was no rule in place.
They weren't the only developer doing some form of callback.
It's also worth pointing out that the resource guidelines only apply to resources listed here.
