Didn't know where to post this, but just curious why isn't the site private to guests and available to only paid users? Only reason I ask is it would be easy for Blizzard or people who ***** HB to download the profiles and make it easier to track bots or use the program without a valid sub.
While I do you understand and share your concern, (I think) the forums are public to provide people who haven't purchased the bot yet with information about it.
its also easier to attract customers so they can see how active the community is and how many profiles, combat routines, plugins are available. i know back in the day when i paid for wowmimic once i got into the resellers forum there was no community and no activity, but i had to pay to get in, at least this way people can see what they're missing, and as far as blizzard goes, we have nothing to hide.
do you assume that interested parties would not pay to get access even if the buddy team had wanted to try to make it paid member only...? ;-)
