    Hi guys,

    It has been a long time since I started releasing add-ons for xenForo. It started as a hobby and grew from there through difficult times of the community and also mine. (Most of) my add-ons are free but as things grow, providing support takes more and more time and prevented me from working on further development. That's the reason for this small experiment:

    1. My add-ons will still be released for free at xenforo.com.
    2. However, support will be provided here at xfrocks.com*. The site doesn't require registration to browse FAQ, download example, etc. but to request support or ask question, you will have to get the Webmaster badge via Account Upgrades.

    The upgrade starts at $5/mo and you are guaranteed to get an answer within 24 hours from the staff members.​

    Let's see where this experiment will go. Welcome abroad!

    (*) limited support is still provided at xenforo.com

    Heya, xfrocks. Thanks for creating this forum.

    Does the webmaster badge allow us to post questions about XenTag here? I want to understand what happens when you change the tag name for an existing tag.

    Your add-ons rock!

    Is this payment recurring? If not: Is there a way for at least mine to be so. I’m not the most organized person in the world and if this is recurring then I can just forget about payment.

      xfrocks @Motobaka Nope, no recurring. But I'm sure you will remember when you cannot download some awesome add-on from this site :D

    Mmm the thing is that I already fell like I owe you. So why not support every month even if I don’t download anything? Would you consider having an option for the ones that would like to make it recurring? If it’s not something you want to do I´ll try to make a note to self.

    As i see this statement it's not true at all. I have problems with a paid addon and even if i proposed to xfrocks to pay to have paid support (because it's a very urgent problem to me), i'm waiting for a reponse from various days...i see that he connects every day, simply he are ignoring me. That's very frustrating for me...

      xfrocks @Maximilian Sorry, which question are you mentioning? I recall answered quite a few queries from you in the last several days. Anyway, I'm quite busy this month so I may have missed something. I'm sure we can arrange a refund for you regarding the Webmaster upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      Maximilian @xfrocks I'm referring to the data storage issue...i have to go my site live next month so for me is critical to setup the data storage/attachment addon asap...i'm generally satisfied to your addons/support the only problem is that now is very important for me to resolve the CDN issue :-(

    Hello, Here for XF Arcade. Currently my site has XF Arcade 0.0.9, yes I know that is an outdated version and not supported anymore, which is why I have came back to your site @xfrocks hoping for great expectations. I will give this BETA a test, after DwD users mess with it for a bit and they are liking the new version, I will help support you with a moth to moth "Webmaster Badge". If DwD users do not like what this BETA offers and our site is unable to run due to many bugs I will still help support for your hard work of two months of Webmaster Badge.

    -Mac :)

      xfrocks @wEbAddEr I think you can package them in one zip file and upload it to the server. May be a good idea to break down to a few smaller files too, since 17k games seem to be a lot?

    wEbAddEr New Member

    it will be needed to upload them at smaller files because all together it's 20,2 gigabyte :)

      xfrocks @wEbAddEr That's too bad. I think I can modify the installer to install from a directory maybe.
