why you say that ? it's just a service and if it helps Kier and folks keep legal costs down what's the problem ?
There is nothing wrong with a legal defense fund, as long as management promises to donate any unspent money to a cause that the folks who donated agree on when the fund is dissolved and this case settled.
Maybe Greenpeace or the Red Cross can be agreed on right now or in the future.
Hopefully XF doesn't accept these donations and squashes the idea before anyone takes it any further.
I know my view on this is going to be the minority, but legal defense is the cost of doing business. If you can't afford to run your business, then you shouldn't have one.
It's totally amateurish and unprofessional to have to rely on a community to float the bill.
I disagree with your view David, strongly disagree, if the members here want to donate and support the developers that is their choice.
Would normally agree David and see your point here. However, and you just knew there was going to be one of those, this issue goes beyond the immediate action being taken against Xenforo and goes to the essence of what the Internet should be. Are we going to allow it to be run by corporate boards telling us what products to buy or are we going to send a message to those corporate boards that you cannot bully new companies? Xenforo is more than a company, it's a community, are you prepared to fight for that community's ideals? Sorry got to rush out find a horse and get some blue face paint!
Honestly this case isn't going to set precedent on anything this happens every day in every market it's not something new.
There are a lot more pressing issues out there in the us congress and senate that will have a father reaching impact on internet operations especially for us customers.
That is perfectly true of course, what people do with their money is their choice.I disagree with your view David, strongly disagree, if the members here want to donate and support the developers that is their choice.
If the case gets rejected by the courts, im sure the devs will donate the donated money to charity or something.Hopefully XF doesn't accept these donations and squashes the idea before anyone takes it any further.

However, if people have spare money to donate to a cause, there are far more worthy real life charities that would love some extra money to help save many lives.
indeed, paul you are sometimes a hypocriteMaybe you should change all the ‘support the developer’ links on vb.org to ‘support the Red Cross’ instead.
I have to agree there but Paul is pretty cool sometimesindeed, paul you are sometimes a hypocrite
Name three.I have to agree there but Paul is pretty cool sometimes
Why ? I dont force anyone to use them. People can choose to use, or not use, them.Maybe you should change all the ‘support the developer’ links on vb.org to ‘support the Red Cross’ instead.
Rubbish, I never said anyone had to, but of course, you would rather see what you want to see as usual, welcome to the troll Paul brigade - its quite fashionable, apparently.indeed, paul you are sometimes a hypocrite
