Hi, in case you are new, here is the back story.
Half a year or so ago, there was an awesome gathering bot called gold-raker. this bot was pretty awesome, and most of the desired features were locked up behind a pay-wall. Many people did not mind. It was a ~30$USD 1 time lifetime(20 something years) fee, which would grant access to said bot and be able to use ALL the features.
Then, this bot vanished. All the users were left knee deep up shit creek without a paddle. From the tear soaked ashes of all the users, this new bot appeared on the scene. It looked the same, it smelled the same, tasted the same, it even for the first few versions had the link to the same paypal account for 'donations' - which was later updated. This bot was called hopper. It had more or less the same quirks that gold-raker had. More or less obvious to anyone with a CS degree of any form that it was the same application. Hell, even a few of my smarter non-technical friends could obiviously see it was the same bot. I don't know why mana thistle was never in the options list in either version.(hopper might have it by now after my constant groaning and trolling).
This was a great program. Then the developer created a new site for hopper. It had the same theme and setup as gold-raker. Then the next version of hopper which fixed everything, required a login to the hopper forum website to run. This was fine since it also kinda made the bot stay up to date. And now, a paywall has been constructed. All the features which were behind the gold-raker paywall are now also behind the hopper paywall. btw, thanks to their nicely worded ToU, they can revoke service or run away with your money and you won't get a refund.
I am working against this by gathering information and I need help.
Looking for anyone who has already 'donated' their 30$GBP (48$USD) for access to anything above the 'free' version, you will not need complicated knowledge of what to do, I am more than willing to instruct on how to get the information needed.
By the way, the admin(s)** of the website is/are extremely combative to ANY and ALL references to gold-raker. Go ahead and try it. I was more or less banned for it. - monmed
**I am unsure. He/They seem(s) like the paranoid type having either multiple accounts to monitor the happenings of the forum, or he is reading ALL the PMs between users. Not much of a privacy advocate.
