* Coding community appears to be uncomfortable and several appear to decide to leave the site.
* Coders pulling their attachments from their resources
* Undocumented functionality like auto installers are no longer allowed
* More and more commercialized addons, but still using lite versions to indirectly promote their full version
* The trend of coders only giving support to those who click the install button
* Donate buttons inside release threads which give impression money is required
* The staff nitpicking on certain rules but allowing others to bend the rules
* 15 staff members who do this on volenteer basis but appear to be only enjoying their status as people hardly notice them to be online or active or even moderating
* free support requests being ignored by community to motivate people to post in service request forum so when they help they can get money
* etc
