> It's not? It says the CMS is free and open-source and they have prices listed for the paid services they provide.
You brought up the CMS. I didn’t. I don’t have any point to defend regarding it. ‘bagpuss was wrong about what they said about the site, and I replied to that.
> Simply saying that something is open-source is you painting yourself as a "savior"?
It’s called marketing.
Are you unfamiliar with what scammy means? The site feels scammy to me. So I said so. I don’t think you can demonstrate that I don’t believe it’s scammy, and you haven’t convinced me either.
> Obviously, if they did provide it then there would be no reason at all to pay.
I don’t have any reason to pay either. ‘bagpuss can defend the scammy site, but I won’t so I agree there’s no reason to pay, for different reasons.
> No, not an entire site, just the current HTML document and the accompanying files for it (e.g. scripts, images, etc.) If you want to sit for hours manually doing that for thousands of pages then feel free.
I have no reason to believe a scammy site will do any better than that either. You haven’t demonstrated that the site even works, and their marketing doesn’t inspire confidence.
As I didn’t introduce the site, I’m not beholden to supporting it or not. Take ‘bagpuss to task if anyone.
I don’t think you know what you’re even arguing about or for because none of your arguments or claims even go anywhere, they all revolve around this scammy site that you didn’t even bring up. Nothing about your argument makes sense.
That you haven’t made any effort to correct ‘bagpuss by replying to them directly is curious.
Yes, again, it was to explain to you that they only say that the CMS is free, not the services because you said:
> This site is misrepresenting itself as open source and free, while simultaneously having an affiliate program and pricing page, which, as I've said, isn't free
They only said their CMS was open-source and free, not any of their other services.
> I don’t think you know what you’re even arguing about or for because none of your arguments or claims even go anywhere
I was correcting you because you said things that just aren't true:
> This site is misrepresenting itself as open source and free, while simultaneously having an affiliate program and pricing page, which, as I've said, isn't free. It's unverifiable whether or not it's open source, as you don't even download/run the software yourself: it's a web app, which is beside the point, as web apps could also be open source, but as there's no way to self-host this, let alone download it and/or run it, for free or otherwise. I think it's safe to avoid this scammy site.
Which is just not accurate at all, as I've already explained several times. You can dislike the site all you want but you don't need to slander them.
>> to clarify, i have nothing to do with this site, i used it once, years back and there was a free tier or at least a free/crippled version at that time
