In reply to: [Flare] Remove Purple Lightening Icon and Need CountsI have reinstalled the previous version and got rid of the purple button and I will not be touching “update” until I get the word that it is gone or becomes optional. Seriously guys, I will give it a week or two and if you don’t give us a way of getting updates with ad-free buttons I will go back to digg digg. You are on to a good thing – let “organic” reviews do their thing and let social do it’s thing – you are risking it backfiring on you as you were already getting great reviews, and people were blogging about this plugin and now they are revising their blog posts. Just trust the process in that people love flare without forcing ads on them. Make it optional!

In reply to: [Flare] Remove Purple Lightening Icon and Need CountsHey Jason – I think your idea that some of the comments are “somewhat neutral” is a bit of an overstatement as is it “is not universally loved” – I think you can rest assured it is universally hated and the comments are negative…your plugin will be very damaged if people start putting negative reviews on it and it is already happening – did you not read that people are changing their 4 and 5 start reviews to 1 star? My best advice would be to reverse the ad and allow us to go back to a previous version ASAP OR allow us to pay for it, but I can not keep the current version on my site if you are going to take a while to make up your mind. I will give it to next week (maybe) but I hope you give us a definite timeframe. You may well have just killed the one good plug in that was available at the moment for sharing, and I am willing to go back to something less sexy and less stable to get rid of the pesky purple button. I think your final statement “I would ask that you consider keeping it” is a dangerous one given that everyone hates it. We are only keeping it because we have not choice and changing over a plug in (again) is not only embarrassing but annoying. I found this on the site of a major blogger and I am sure they will pull it too if they get the update – or do you give some people special treatment????

In reply to: [Flare] Remove Purple Lightening Icon and Need CountsI am about to delete it – c’mon guys – I have gone from being ready to write a blog post about how great Flare is to being ready to delete it – forcing the purple button on us in an update is not cool – and I have already have readers asking WTF? Wouldn’t you be better off having it optional and keeping happy fans…or just charge people already – but don’t put it up in a sneaky update!

In reply to: [Flare] Pinterst share count stuck at zerodelepathy – any word on why you have forced us all to display the purple “ad” button on our sites. I am so disappointed. I finally made the jump to Flare, was really happy with it, was about to blog about it and now I am contemplating deleting it as the last “purple” button is not a share button and does not look right to visitors – how can we remove it. I am sure you are going to lose a lot of potential brand advocates by forcing this change on people – perhaps make it optional and we will all be out there raving about flare anyway, but right now with it there, I would not be recommending it. Or at least hurry up and charge people already if that is what you are working towards but I can’t keep my site like this much longer!
