  Re: Disagree on Disagree

  Try getting an issue resolved with community abuse is a joke though. There Connecting with fans is seriously lacking and to the point where if your in a community game such as.. oh all of them ya better find your table by your clique of people. Zynga has been on my s-list for quite a while.

  Re: Re:

  As for caps there subjective as hell not to mention taking value away by your own admission the "the [limited] amount of uploading you do on a daily basis is....". So in reality, not essence, let you see it in action but not give you it all. Its odd timing but I had the same thought in a game in beta right now Fortune Online. If your curious on the model I suggested there see Energy and economics in there suggestion forums.
  
  Also 30 days isn't set in stone and I did mention software life-cycle flexibility.
  
  As for connecting with fans. Didn't feel the post warranted a full business model just a foundation. In ex. one that moves like earthquake rollers on a software life-cycle.

  Re: Release Schedule

  Yes because hype sells so much better over value.
  Yes because innovation comes in chunks
  yes because nobody finds Windows 7 iso to play Crysis years ahead of time of even the name of it announced... this one is second hand btw I'm stuck on a a 6 yr-old portable that can barely run League of Legends without overheating and forget about dual monitors but I digress...
  yes because businesses earn credit through hype
  
  I can spend more time here punching holes in everything wrong in that post but I'm currently watching .hack and my megavideo 30 minute timer just ticked.

  The gears are turning. A few questions.
  
  What do we call it when any body restricts the speech of someone else?
  
  Are there laws for this?
  
  When are the criminally liable?
  
  When is the government liable!?!
  
  Is there a simple way solve this rather than relying on the time involved with relevant cases?
  
  ... tell me no lies.

  Re:

  This is why people are waking up to opensource projects. If there is value to be added you can make a request to the development or in most cases add-on teams.
  
  Firefox I need to say is at the top of the prime examples. As for the related post that just hit and Gimp, ect. as replacements for Adobe.

  Idea that any software developer can use the following method.
  
  1. 30 day trial
  2. 30 more days on confirmed referral
  3. 15 days for there 3rd-tier referrals
  4. Minimal monthly or life-time licenses are up to the software's life-cycle.
  
  Take advantage of free distribution and word of mouth. Some pyramid affiliate methods do work.

  ~smirk~ I can almost guarantee Newgrounds will go under if any of the community started ratting out there fellow Newgrounders. That 300$ goes toward the tablet not the software.
  
  Its about time for a sourceforge project to create animations, alter photos and convert to flash. Oh wait... lulz.
  
  Its stories like these that make me wonder if the opensource community are going to get branded as pirates soon.
  
  Thanks for the all the fish Adobe.
