Just sayin'.

It looks like wowmatrix went to hosting the files themselves now.
If they got author's permission, more power to them. Unfortunately from all the reading I've done on the topic in the last week I reaaallly doubt they did.

@Spahut & Unbelievable, right there with ya guys... I do NOT like blindly downloading and don't see the sense in going out of my way to update addons that I haven't had any problems with. That said, when I'm here and happen to see that one of my faves has been updated, I will go ahead and spend 30 or so seconds to update it. I'm just saying that I'm anything but ocd about it.

Proper usage of past tense++

Now they mirror publicly available content and host it themselves. See: googlecache, coralcdn, archive.org, etc.

And yes, a vast, vast number of people download movies out of convenience.

Can't argue that changing (a very small percent of) original files pretty lame but its like trying to stop TPB. You can whine all day but its not going away.

So stealing is ok as long as it's convenient. It all makes sense now.

Ackis posted YET ANOTHER reason why WM is/was bad. I don't see how people can continue to defend it. Please accept it and move on. We don't need another 30 page thread of crying.

keep them updated. Oh, and if you're on a Mac, forget about it.

I don't have a solution to this, doubt anyone does.
Um. What does this have to do with wow matrix modifying peoples code ?

Oh and see my sig as for an alternative to wow matrix.

Okay, this thread has served its purpose. Please keep the general WM debate in the WowMatrix thread.
