 * Hi…I am only a consultant, and use the basic versions of plugins to ease clients
   into new functionality. And I have a few almost sold on associator… AND now its
   gone? Because of a spam spat? I hope you get back in the game. It is, or was,
   a great product, and wordpress is the perfect community to stress test your concepts.
   People will pay/donate for the upgrade and customizations… you dont need all 
   the banners outside your settings page… in fact, anywhere else it only confuses/
   irritates non-tech users getting use to wordpress, the end client who pays the
   bills and could cut you a check. food for thought.

 * Hi WhiteGazelle!
 * Thanks for your Feedback and of course the Post Page Associator Story is not 
   at its end yet. 🙂
 * I removed the banner from the plugin page but it worries me that there are a 
   lot of people out there who do not think about the costs of creating a plugin.
 * E.g. the user “mayday”: He sells the free version of this plugin to his clients
   but he is not willing to pay a few dollars for the development. That’s miserable.(
   And then of course he writes stupid topics about a donation button. ^^ )
 * So what would you do in my position? :\

 * Do exactly as whitegazelle suggested: GET RID of the dashboard spam. Seriously:
   your face in my dashboard is NOT something I want to see when I sign in (which
   is why I removed your plugin from my sites as well). If it’s money you’re after,
   promote your plugins as for-profit on **your** time, but granting yourself permission
   to spam a private admin dashboard is NOT okay–**EVER**.

 * MrMist, you are totally right, but after the 100th same slipslop a day everyone
   will lose one’s patience. :\

 * I used post-page associator for a short time, and I will say that it met the 
   need I had at the time, but I very quickly found an alternative (and a much more
   lightweight alternative at that). I also run on a donation-based business model,
   but I believe that Mr. Hoppe has crossed an ethical line.

   alternative did you find?
