We do not and I doubt that we will ever pay the required licensing fee of a minimum $15,000/yr and I would bet it would be higher still, the price of the program would have to go up substantially. It is easy to get a feel for just how much by looking at other programs that do license the use of IMDb data, I would guess we would have to go to $60 to cover it.

We this and we that, are you an Invelos representative?

Should we start another thread so we don't get into the 20 page range?

Are you looking for trouble, be my guest.  

Stop making a fool of yourself.
You are not related to Ken, so STOP speaking on his behalf.

I think a lot of people are going completely off base with many things. Whatever you think the "expect presence" means, I'm sure everyone agrees that Invelos are not involved enough in answering questions to help people contribute.

I found this sentence quite interesting. After all, many complaints in regards of the missing "support" are aimed at the lack of updates of the rules.

The funny twist: the database is Invelos' asset, one of the main selling points. The database can only get better, if the rules are updated and everyone applies them the same way to the profiles before contribution. So, it would appear the database as it is now is "good enough"...? In which case, what are we all worried about, contributions just need to continue the way they are going now?

The database , IMO, is the main selling point of this (again excellent) program. It's not that the rules need constant updating, just updated during that rare occassion that Ken/Gerri make a forum post to help the interpretations of the rules. I think its a kick in the c unt to those few users that do make so many fantastic contributions (I already bigged up the UK folk earlier in the thread) that Invelos ignore any threads that could help guide us users.

What about those awesome foks with the plug-ins. Some great work and without these people the place would be worse off. Those that try to answer technical questions (because Invelos sure as hell won't chime in) are fantastic and again the place would be worse off without them.

I actually had a mate just ask what he should use to catalogue his collection. I told him this was great but the support was lacking. He's enjoying dvdaf despite the lack of features and guess what, despite the fact it is free, he has had a lot of help from the staff over there when he has needed it.

IMO this is the best progam on the market and for the price you can not beat it. Maybe the support could be better of course it could. If your not happy use another program, for the last 15 pages all you have been doing is beating a dead horse. Get a life! I know there are some people out there would B..ch even if the program was free.

You should maybe read those 15 pages then and you may realise that people ARE happy with the program. The thing they are not happy with is the lack of face by Invelos.

And as pointed out numerous times by others, Sam. Invelos is following what it says. They most certainly do have a presence in the Forum. Just not as you wish it were. And some of us frankly, are fed up watching others whine and complain, drop it move on to something that is far more important...anything. but the endless whine is insulting. <playing world's smallest violin for Sam>

Two easy solutions, go away completely or don't read this thread. Simple isn't it?

Exactly nobody is force to read everything, but I understand that some like to comment on everything whatever they have something usefull or not to say (usually those users like to act like Invelos representative wich is forbidden by the rules, but we all know they worth a big fricking nothing here).

Seriously for those who are happy with the piss poor precence we got from any invelos representatives just don't open the thread, put your hands on your ears and sing "la-la-la I can't hear you my life is a Disney film". Reading the poor excuse it was always like that is pitifull... I won't go all politics but open your history books and you will see that many things changed because people had decided that thing can change.
