I figured I'd post a little poll because I've seen more and more people disappointed with the path that the staff, and Xenobot as a whole has taken.
I personally was a big supporter of the official Xenobot scripts and expanding the team. I was more than happy to pay the extra amount they asked for the bot (even though as a scripter myself, I haven't actually tried/needed to use their scripts) but I thought it was an awesome way to get people involved with Xenobot and build the community.
Very quickly I saw complaints about the scripts go up, support go down and discussions involving their Ox Server sky rocket (discussions started by the staff themselves).
It became extremely clear that the Xenobot staff stopped caring about Xenobot and focused all its resources onto their server instead.
So after seeing this, I joined to 'cracked' community and started just using the free version of this bot. This is strictly because of the fact that I'm paying more for non existent support, promises that were never fulfilled and all around darkstaR paying team members that clearly don't care about it. I'm not doing this to be cheap, I don't think its a large sum of money for a monthly payment to be honest with you, but its the principle that we are paying more for absolutely no reason anymore.
The poll is strictly to see how many people have also switched over to the cracked version/never started at Xenobot because of this. I'm curious how many members agree that the lack of support that Xenobot has provided over the last few months has been insane.
Also if I get banned for posting this its actually funny seeing as all I'm doing is speaking my mind, and everyone else who clearly doesn't have a membership and using the crack doesn't get banned.
*EDIT*
This isn't a direct attack on the entire staff, I've seen many of them work extremely hard and provide excellent support (shadowart is one of them, I've seen him reply to a ton of posts, provide support for his scripts as well as help many people. Theres more out there, but honestly I go on Xenobot nearly daily and I always see him helping someone out somehow. So for this, thank you shadowart for fighting for the community. I personally really appreciate it.)
