    Yeah I figured it was comming them pushing you into the cb store. Man I am sorry Andrew I know how much you liked offering this theme for no matter the amount of the donation. Kudos for what you have down and for how long you got to do it.
    ditto.

    hastings...

    you have spent what i can only imagine to be hundreds of hours working on appleberry and it is a great theme... one of the best out there right now. you are a nice guy for having your donation policy as is until now, with no minimum amount set to get your theme. we all knew it was only a matter of time before this happened and i for one support you and your decision as you should be compensated somehow whether by donation or by charge.

    thank you for all your great work on appleberry

    If you've donated - will there continue to be free updates for the Glass Theme?

    Or a coupon code sent out?

    Thanks!

    NEVER MIND - GOT THE EMAIL AFTER I POSTED TO THE FORUMS.

    Congratulations on leaving the Dare! That was my pre-Storm phone as well. Got $187 for the Dare from the BB FlipSwap Trade-Up program when I got the Storm.
    What?! I have been slacking and haven't sold my Dare on eBay yet. Damn!

    But I've already donated, what happens now?

    Nothing changes! You should receive the AppleBerry Classic 1.0 release information today straight to your inbox, this will include all four versions. I'm not out to make people pay again, even those of you who donated $0.25. You will also still receive future updates the same way you always have.

    Can someone explain why or who is "pushing" hastings into the CB store? I don't mind it going to the store and having to pay for it, I'm just confused why it seems that he is being forced to take that option. Are the mods on the forum saying he can't accept donations anymore? I don't get it...

    Furthermore, why not just open up your own site, and continue with the donations method? I'm sure the amount of hits you'd get would be a nice chance to make some advertising revenue off of adwords or something.

    I'm actually launching my own site in the next month or so.

    The advantage to having it on the CB store is that I'm allowed to create a thread about it here on CB. If I hosted it and sold it through my own site, I wouldn't be allowed to "advertise" it here on CB.

    To be fair to CB, I was violating their no-advertising policy and they were more than fair, they gave me an entire week to conform to their rules.

    Cheers

    Have any of you weatherheads checked out BerryWeather? User Bradblick clued me into it and it is the sweetest one I've seen. Free three-day trial in the mobihand store, but a bit spendy after that.

    Something stinks here!

    IMO if you're a business and post information about your services/products then OK, your breaking the rules. If you're Joe Blow who is offering information/software etc. and only asking for a donation, no harm, no foul. You don't see JLCommander in the store (and they have their own site) nor do you see CrackMem or CrackUtils in the store.

    I think someone was jealous! Whomever complained... BABY!

    I have yet to load the new Classic theme... Too pissed & needed to vent first!

    Let's keep the AppleBerry family rolling!

    Thanks for the hard work Andrew, sorry if we got you railroaded (as we say in the US as I try to keep it clean).

    Just loaded up classic 8 myself and it's looking good. A possible suggestion for the future:

    AppleBerry Glass 5 icons on the dock, no stack, with WB and hidden today!

    Just saying to offer a version without, not replace it.

    Hopefully would give the speed of classic and get rid of the icon ghosting.

    I think the issue was that it was a required "donation", and that violates the CB no-advertising policy.

    Honestly though, the CB store does take more than PayPal, but at least I'm supporting the site. This is such a great resource so if they want a piece of the pie, what can I say...
