TubeAce Plugin Owners

What false statements & claims have been made in this thread?

Please quote them.

AdultKing claimed he found a security hole, and won't provide proof.

Yeah you're absolutely right it seems but it has been done, others have modularised the software.They publish the core to WP and then provide the modules on their own hosting. I've seen other plugins do this, I am not sure if they are flying under the wire or not though.

Here for the fun

I believe he is the author, I don't see any indication he isn't BUT he fucked people over. First he sold a script to people for hundreds that he abandoned and probably knew he was going to abandon when he made some of those sales. Secondly he released the script as a WP Plugin but kept changing the rules and terms such as how many copies you could run etc.

Nothing of value? You really don't know anything about what I have done for this industry do you? There are people I help every single week, quietly and in the background. I've also kept a few abandoned scripts alive so people aren't left out in the cold and charged nothing for that, they're all free.

As I said I believe he wrote the code. He also chose to release it as GPL. I have great respect for the authors of software on this forum. CyberSEO creates a great product that he supports and stands behind, WP-Script do the same. Both of those are products for Wordpress and they have been consistent with their clients. They maintain their code properly. They support their users.

I tried to have a rational discussion with you on ICQ, which you dismissed out of hand.

He had a commercial script, myself and others paid him at least $200 for it and he abandoned it. Then he moved to Wordpress. He also chose to release the plugin and theme under the GPL. Then he chose to abandon people who bought the plugin by not providing updates or by changing the terms upon which they purchased the plugin.


Rather than be constructive you chose the destructive path, blaming everyone else for not jumping through hoops to get updates to your plugin. Look at this thread:

Two of us complained you had ignored our requests for updates. You told both of us it was our fault. You blamed junk mail folders, which turned out to be crap. You deflected and you obfuscated. There are other threads on this forum where people complain about you abandoning them after paying you money.

Most professional software authors are upfront about their system of charging people. Some choose to offer free updates within each major dot point of versions. Some choose to offer free lifetime updates. Some choose to require payment for every update. People then know where they stand.

In the case of Tube Ace he offered something and then pulled the rug out from under people. If this was commercial closed source software then nobody could do anything, it would be his code and it would be unlawful to re-distribute it. However this is not closed source, it's open source under the GPL license and he declares that in the script files and docs.

crappy script anyway tbh, not worth all this fuss

The Tube Ace standalone version was sold and supported for 5 years starting in 2008. The code is unencrypted and the buyers can continue using it to this day. The WordPress version which is a separate product than the standalone version, was released in 2013 of which I still provide updates to this day. I did not "pull the rug" from anyone as you claim. There were a few users on GFY out of thousands of customers over 10 years which had an issue, which have been resolved.

To the best of my knowledge, anyone who requested an update has been sent one. I did not blame anyone for the emails going to a spam folder. I simply said it was a possiblity. That is beyond my control, unfortunately. Last year, I moved the WordPress plugin to Easy Digital Downloads which handles the version updates automatically so this will no longer be an issue.

You claimed to have found a "security hole", which you have not provided proof of. I demand you post it now.

What EXACTLY is crappy about it? Does it not work for you? Because I am unaware of ANY bugs in the current version. Explain. State your case.

AdultKing, you are the one ripping people off for $800 https://gfy.com/20549628-post42.html

You killed the script in 2013 and you sold it to people in 2013. That's pulling the rug.

Do you want me to ask my assistant to spend the afternoon going through all of the threads about your plugin and quote all of the people who have had issues?

You are a whiny sod aren't you? You dare to make demands?

If you read the thread, you would see Oracle Porn was talking about JMB Software, the author of TGPX. So you just fucked up.

https://gfy.com/20578819-post55.html

TGPX was authored by JMB Software, when he left the business he released all his code as open source, I have maintained some of that code - for free. I have no connection to JMB Software other than having been a customer.

AdultKing, looks like you also bought a new car around the time you were accepting payments to fight the file lockers.

I buy a new car every five years or so. I don't see your point.

Post proof of this alleged "security hole" you found, Robert. I thought so...

I stopped selling it in 2013, it can still be used.

Post proof of the security hole you found last night. I'm waiting...

I think you used to be able to do an injection with SQL, but I think that was fixed years ago.
Not sure if that matters tho..
