You can even watch in these threads as how WM was altering their application, during our discussions. I suggest that people take the time to go through all these threads and think long and hard if they have anything new to bring to the table. Nothing more needs to be said than what has been posted on those mega threads.

This is an argument as old as copyright, as old as money, as old as barter depending on just how you look at it.

You're right, though. Nobody's going to convince anyone of anything at this point. Addon authors insist they want to help WOWI/Curse by keeping their addons here, but clog the database and storage with addons they haven't updated since the dawn of time, and with Hello, World!-style addons that should've never passed through their router.

I've actually made it a habit of clicking on everyone's "Addon Author" pip, just to see what sort of atrocities were written by the people arguing this, and only one person that I've noticed (I'm sure I've missed someone) has more addons updated in the last 3 months than not (this author being Tristanian, as a matter of fact. Salut.).

I'm willing to bet that if WOWI/Curse were to cull these useless addons that no longer serve as even programming examples due to their age and obsolescence, they'd solve more issues due to a reduced search index and less storage used than they'll save by banning WowMatrix for a month.

And it's all moot anyway as their measures will inevitably be bypassed.
