They will argue they dont make money , but they do .. they make money to buy more commercial themes and make there collection bigger and bigger.
Why should designers spend there hard time (weeks in some cases) making a awsome theme, for a few tossers to get hold of it and resell for penuts.
I dont agree with encoding/encripting files but i presume you felt you needed some more security, these people will simply re-write the theme files though, all there after is your skills, your graphics ... thats what there stealing and its a shame.
Personally it wouldnt suprise me if you stop supporting nuke themes... look at how many nuke theme designers come ..... and go ... and you wonder why ? after a few months/year designing they realize the themes fall under GPL and deside to focus there skills esle where.
Well i wish u the best even if i have heard some bad stuff about xtrato in the past, i wouldnt wish any nuke designer to quit to the few lossers that are out there...

Couldnt have said it better myself man, I do nuke themes and very good ones at that and am highly progressing, rapidly at that. But as of the other day when i found out a site (not gonna type it) with ALL my commercial themes on there for a simple friggin $20 subscription and when they pay it they get ALL the designs *sigh* I dont ask alot for my work, i just ask what should be rightfully do to me.. a little bit of money for the time and concentration i spend on my designs. But that will never happen so i have come to realize.
Anywho Xtrato, you should do like i am about to do... release all my commercial themes to the public for FREE... and once i do that it will screw those rippers without lube... noone will pay them for the designs if there free from the designer himself. Then i am gonna focus on Custom designs for my income. Thats where the money is.
Lets see how much money the fags make off my designs when they are free. I would rather release all my work then to let some moronic lazy bastards make money of what i put all that work into.
Either way X... shouldnt close down, but only Improvise, like the other guys say you are a badass designer (there are alot of other great designers as well) but you have been round a long time.... just find a way around these assholes and prosper. Thats what i am gonna do.
