@dark coder: Darkfact is the author of the program and Fastburst is the author of the server software.

@dark coder: Some files that are meant for one thing can be used for other things. If the files are compressed in any way, zip technology may be used as a support process even if there is no actual zip file created. I don't know the details of PGP so I can’t tell how it was used exactly. If I were DarkFact I would not disclose this information. It would help people crack PGP faster.

@dark coder: They could very well be legitimate trademarks it takes little time and money to get a trademark. All you need is a name with something behind it. If you have that then all you have to do is file the proper forms with the proper office.

@dark coder: New version and new method. Try cracking it again and find out.

@dark coder: It’s not the 8 random letters that is the technology. It is the final all over process as a whole.

Quote: "is "Automatic Renaming Of Game Exe" a feature? unless of course some users have trouble clicking a file two times and typing but then again this is the FP..."
@dark coder: If it is a function of the program then it is a feature. That statement came really close to insulting allot of people and everyone here knows it. That damages your case pretty badly.
dark coder said:
Quote: "Furthermore why would anyone pay 50$ more just to be able to change the icon and exe info? can't the latter be done by hand anyway? and the former can be done with any number of freeware apps.
"
@dark coder: Some people like the idea that the feature is there and would gladly pay for it. It is not a reflection on there intelligence. They could be really smart people. They just like the convenience and are willing to pay for it.

Quote: "Also you might want to explain more about the USS Enterprise version, I assume you didn't put a price because HTML doesn't support numbers that large and I don't see what Completing the source files is or does.
"
@dark coder: If someone gets the source to most commercial software they can expect to pay for it. In this case there may be some custom work done for the buyer ahead of time to make things easier for them. Write for a quote and see why it is done this way.

Quote: "Also since when was this 'WORLD LEADING'"
@dark coder: I have been searching for software that can do this for years and found nothing that compares. Not from any company that I have seen on the internet. That means that it is cutting edge. That means that it is the first to be done in this way. That means that it is the leader. Since I have seen nothing on the net that does this same thing in this same way that it is leading the world in that respect. That would make it "WORLD LEADING"
I don't see what your issue is with DarkFact and Fastburst making some money and doing something good for the inde community. There is more behind what you say I think.
If this program is so bad then you should write a better one. If yours is better then I would gladly concider buying it instead of PGP.
Your angry because of something. There is no other reason for the nit-picking. There is something that you haven't said. There is a reason that you feel so compelled to get people to not buy this program. That reason has nothing to do with the features or the trademarks or any of that. I don't know what it is, but it is eating away at you pretty hard. So hard in fact that your willing to risk your own creditability to shoot it down. I'm sure that I am not the only one to see this.
If you want to show-n-tell then make something better to show and then tell about it.
Until then your case is very weak at best.
