I too can understand why Apache chooses to make 'a little' money from 'his' work.
I agree with Empire and Apache with what they both say about bringing in some revenue to pay the site fees.
We all know its not cheap to run a quality site. Sites dont charge fees to make a living from the site! They charge fees to cover the costs of actually paying for the site.

At cd-2-dvd.com we have been debating the idea of wether or not to implement a 'Premium Account' for those willing to pay a small fee to subscribe. I wont go in to detail here of what the subscription would entitle you but it was an idea we had to help pay some of the site fees.

But for the moment we have decided against charging people as I believe the CD2DVD installers will only be leaked to other sites anyway!
We have a good user base at cd-2-dvd but I also believe only a very few would actually be willing to pay!
Most people these days just do not want to pay for anything! They expect that if they pay for an Internet connection then everything from the net should be free!

Unfortunately it becomes rather hard to keep everyone happy these days.

@Mantrhax
What a truly stupid comment you made!!
I dont know Apache personally and I seriously doubt you do either! How do you know if he has a job or not?
Apache obviously enjoys making game trainers otherwise he wouldnt be doing it.
Lets say 'hyperthetically', Apache turns his Trainer making into a small business and starts making enough money from it to support himself where he no longer has to work at another job.
Wouldnt this then become his ideal job? Being paid for something he enjoys doing! Working from home, working his own hours.
Then his hobby would become his 'job'!
Some new business ideas start out as hobbies etc to earn some spare dollars. It is how some people move out of a job they despise but are forced to do to pay for something that someone else expects for free!
Manthrax, possibly you yourself are in a job you despise!

And.....

Shit no!! The names 'would' have to be included!!

We do have an 'Idiots Posts' thread around somewhere! Maybe we could add Manthrax's post to it.
