"GPL enables you to basicly take a WordPress file and developer/design/program it to your needs....among many other things."
There's a really big difference between editing a plugin for 'your needs'....and editing a plugin (because that's what you've done) to SELL.
This has nothing to do with my opinion, but I bought Carson's plugin on WF, and it's fantastic. And whether or not you only use this as 'part' of your plugin, it doesn't make any difference, if anything it makes you look even more condescending like this is something that just doesn't matter to you as it's only a 'part'.
Also the comment about not coming back here and only replying to PM's...guilty conscience maybe?
Good luck Carson, you deserve it. I don't blame you for being angry.

Didn't you hear the guy? You can copy his whole source code and give away for free or even create a sales page and resell it because it is GLP as all WP plugins!
Well now I feel like ass.
When I first saw the thread up on here and the things that Rankbox can do well like everyone else I pretty much had my jaw open and was drooling. So I went out and searched for Rankbox before there Even a BST thread on here.
My fault lesson learned.
However. I do have to give ExtremeSEO his support was amazing Answered every single question I ever had. So, I do appreciate that very much and thank you.
but you'll have to forgive me for canceling my stuff as the evidence is pretty strong against you.
I'm hoping you guys can work this out.
Either way, It's one hell of plug-in.

@carsonrathi
were there any callbacks in your code? if so were these callbacks removed? if so this opens up an entirely new can of worms, the threat of legal action may be all it would take to finalize refunds and appropriate actions of your choosing.

Out of Respect for BB's Wiz's request -
Due to the "comment poster" being a feature within WordPress alongside many other features within the Plugin as a whole, I will be happy to offer a 30% refund to both lifetime and monthly members - as well as free - non-subscription (no attachments) Blackhat hosting to use as you please.
Since this is a digital product, a full refund cannot be issue due to MANY other features are within Rankbox, this refund is 3 times the value/percentage that the comment poster is compared to the Many other features. (meaning - the comment poster is only 10%-20% of the actual plugin, 80-90% of the plugin are other features)
You may keep that refund, or I can give it to Carson.

Lmao. The comment poster is 95% of the reason why people purchased it. Paypal dispute filed, if that fails, CC charge back in order. Your deceptive and underhand practices don't warrant a fair and understanding from the community, so please, don't try to justify why you can only offer a % refund.

What matters here is that you have, basically, stolen this code. You offering refunds is confirmation of that.
The point is that this 'part' of your plugin, has contributed to it selling to so many people, as it wouldn't have been as appealing without it, regardless of how many other parts there are, and as a part of that whole plugin, full refunds should be given.
And you still haven't shown any remorse to Carson. 'Our of respect for BB Wiz's request'? How about out of respect for the guy you stole the code from?

Ok, I guess you have not got it.
First, you are not the one to offer 'options'. You stole my work and guilty of it.
Please refer to the first post. What you are referring to 30% of the code is the SOUL of any application which deals with search engine engine like google. IF you do not have THIS 30% your plugin is a piece of junk.
Check the 3rd point of the first post. Change your coding and get every piece of my file example Core.php, options.php, metabox.php, cron.php, Meta.php, process_form.php (man you have every of my file as it is in your plugin) out of your plugin.
Now what happened to the GPL?
Thanks,
Carson
P.s: Looking for mods decision.

So lifetime members really get screwed huh? wth is 30%?
so can a paypal master answer this.
1. only the seller can issue a full refund?
2. to do a dispute would take a while?
3. are you safer if you payed through credit card by paypal?
i mean can't extremeseo just refund the lifetime ppl, it was only 12ppl anyway before the thread got locked.
oh and i mean full refund, wth is this 30% crap?
man this the worst BST.

makes you wonder how much more of rankbox is someone else's code and if any part of it original.
personally i wouldn't be using it as other authors could discover there code being used on your site, opening legal issues for the buyers of rankbox.
I believe a full refund is in order due to trust/morality issues of the seller of rankbox being flushed down the toilet

The only thing that is going to get "screwed" is ExtremeSEO's standing with paypal. I purchased full lifetime. I filed a dispute, if that doesn't fall through I will go through my bank, which is 100% certainty of getting a refund (just takes more time).

To ExtremeSEO:
If you wish to regain any degree of trust or respect on BHW,
then you need to issue a FULL REFUND and eat your losses.
NOTE: This is not a suggestion . . . this is a demand.
You have caused me, carsonrathi and the buyers of your product
a GREAT INCONVENIENCE. Now, man-up and make restitution.
