I will be sure to do the same. Thank you for this heads up!
Yeah an indication of this would be nice.
Also i'm against cracked software should be automatically free. Gunbot and others would've most likely never been released without someone realizing that they can profit from it. They would've had no incentive to release a software they worked hard to crack just for leechers to spam 'ty' on their thread.
Allowing and encouraging the sales of cracked programs will not only introduce a new market section that could eventually stand on its own, but it will also increase the value of the forum as more crackers are going to be incentivized to crack difficult or underprioritized programs to sell. And some of those programs they will leak for free just like you can drop a ton of free accs for likes and advertising of your sig.
Would you go through the trouble of cracking a hard program just for people to say you HAVE to share it for free or else you'll be banned? I'll keep my hardwork to myself tyvm. If they MUST be free, then it should also be easy enough for anyone to crack that program.
If you want to change something, you must first be the change. Start cracking for yourself (not leaking) any program that someone is selling to show the mods that their hard work wasn't hard.
