Dude that is my point. We really have writen our own script. That pagination bug is fixed in ours and you still don't even have checks to stop someone from just coming in and joining and running up 2000+ gameplays in a day. We fixed that also because it makes it IMPOSIBLE to know how effective your promition is and hinders guys from joining the arcade because what is the point when they will never make the toplist with cheaters around. We added rotating ads from several networks that rotate automatically to fight ad blindness and increased our CTR 240%. We did write Gubug and under the hood there is no referrence to on arcade at all and there was never one when we bought our script. We tried to keep some of what we paid for so that is why we say that 90% of the source has changed. I can't just pay everyone that says I have code from them when I know 90% of my site has been rewriten.
Also I have been a very active member of this forum now for about 8 months and it seems you don't have any problem contacting me here now. So why do you say that you tried to contact us? Maybe you think you can squeeze us for a license fee on work we already done for ourself but to pay you a license fee is to legally state that you wrote our script wich you simply did not do my friend.
My brother is itching to come on this forum and see just how much of a coder you really are because even the script you just released had bugs and ofcourse guys will thank you for fixing them but before you charge someone for something then why not correct the problems properly? Who are you Bill Gates? Also some of the problems you had from what it looks like to us came about because you took bits and pieces of code that was expecting a different database schema and implemented into your script ( Now how is this your code ? ). You see my brother has forgotten more about coding then you probably ever will know, and has experience programming on several platforms and if you like we can point out lots of instances where you took opensource code and simply added referrences to your script. I am not here for this however and that is so far away from what my brother is about that this is why he almost NEVER joins forums. I just think you handled this poorly and I contend that we have not in anyway infringed on your code. Yes Hostgator could have checked to see if you actually owned copyright because as they work now ANYONE can file a DMCA claim just like we have filed a counter claim and have our code to prove it. You make it sound like everyone with an arcade owes you a license fee for using basic PHP and MYSQL functions.
