[TAC] Total XF1 Anti-Spam Collection Complete [Paid] 1.2.92

[Fred.]

Thanks for the time and effort you put in this @tenants we appreciate that. Hopefully you can find a good candidate to take over that doesn't screw us.
Good luck with your new projects.

So far I've not had a huge response to take this over, @Yugensoft is keen and has some anti-spam ideas & experiance

Since I was planning to a allow people to vote it looks like @Yugensoft will take it over uncontested. If there Are any other people interested in taking over tac anti spam products for free, please post below

Good news there!

 

[tenants]

I wonder if they'll change the pack name to YAC

Have you been in touch with @Xon? Cracking developer and someone I trust implicitly.

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Floyd R Turbo]

Xon is one of the busiest devs though...I've bribed him to mod one of his own addons but he is so backed up, even that didn't work

 

[Alpha1]

He already has well over 90 addons to port to XF2.

 

[tenants]

I've not been contacted by @Xon presumably he has a lot of add-ons to support. I'll give it until the end of the weekend, then it looks like @Yugensoft will be uncontested to take over TAC

 

[Xon]

@tenants I've seen the offer, but I simply have too many add-ons I've migrating to XF2 plus other commitments to have enough time to properly support taking on new add-ons like this collection

 

[Alpha1]

@Yugensoft could you set up a bug tracker? For example by using @NixFifty 's Tickets addon?
This will allow you to set up private and public categories.

I plan to do things in addition to track bugs, ideally I'd want to give people a way to submit false negatives (i.e. "purge & submit") of spammers too. But the addons are still in the transfer process at the moment, and then I'll have to set up my downloads/purchase area for them.

 

[Alpha1]

I suggest to use Chris his Product Manager combined with Xon's addons for it.

 

[tenants]

Just sent them to you (1 min ago)

 

[Case]

This is a great collection of add-on's. We've used them on our forum since the start and rarely have any spam issues. Good to see someone is taking it on.

 

[Alpha1]

I have a number of issues that I would like to submit. When will a bug tracker be available?

@Yugensoft how are you handling existing (paid) customers? I have a license of TAC collection (this one) as well as a license of FBHP. Thanks

Regarding this add-on collection

• Prior purchasers: as I received a list of the emails of previous purchasers for each product:
  • If you register on my website using the original email address you used (to register and acquire the product through the previous provider's forum-upgrade based system), my shop will let you download the product automatically.
• Bringing these add-ons in line with typical fixed-duration update provision, I am setting a fixed expiry date of 30 June 2018 for updates for the last years prior purchasers of the previous provider's forum account upgrade.
• It now includes a command line package installer, which will rapidly (in mere seconds) install/upgrade the whole set, or any individual TAC component add-on zip you have dropped into the XenForo root directory.

Regarding a XF2 rewrite

I fully intend to rewrite all of these add-ons for XF2. However since this is effectively a new add-on, and having read over how much code there is, it is clear this porting is going to be a lengthy endeavour. Therefore the XF2 versions will not be classified as an 'update', but those who already paid for XF1 versions will receive a discount on them. The XF2 version will then be supported concurrently with the XF1 version, as it is clear that some users (especially those with big boards and large numbers of add-ons) will be delaying their upgrade to XF2 for a while.
