So last night Rab Simpson opened a thread on my forum asking me what happened to AdRotate. Where is the plugin page?
A short investigation showed that the plugin had disappeared without a trace and all other pluginpages were intact.
A little while later someone who calls herself SecNews posted a bug report. If there was a fix yet. We worked together and she was the first who received the updated version late last night. Which she was very thankful for even though her server was unaffected :).
Anyway. Me unaware about a SQL exploit followed up on her link and saw the bug report. It’s likely this caused AdRotate to be taken away from the repository.
Noting it’s a similar bug as posted a while ago by the same troll who is not man enough to contact a developer in person i got a bit angry and wrote a “not-so-nice,-i’m-angry” email. And the following spur of rude unprofessionalism followed.
It’s so pathetic that i couldn’t stay angry for much longer. However, AdRotate is still not available via the official channels which is very very fucking annoying. All because some dumb-ass won’t email me and just acts without thinking.
Anyway, read the spur of emails we exchanged in rapid succession. The oldest email is at the bottom so basically they’re all in reversed chronological order. I left it like this because otherwise it would look doctored… This is the unedited cope/paste of my email history. And credit where credit is due… So i left in his full name, website address and Email for your enjoyment.

well let me spell it out for you:
1. http://telltal.es/
2. http://telltal.es/projects/
3. http://meandmymac.net/contact-and-support/
Number 1 and 2 are clearly listed on www.adrotateplugin.com and if you go through the plugin repository you can easily find number 3.
I don’t see the difficulty in getting in touch. Especially for things like this.
Anyway, i told you this last time. Clearly you can’t read or think before you act. So lets not waste each others time.
I have a bug (typo) to fix and you can shut the fuck up.

Well, as I am an idiot I can only say that I hope that the last laugh will be yours.
Also, don’t blame me for more of “Wtf guys! What did i do this time!” as there will be more.
From my own experience people like you that are not brave enough to put any kind of contact information are pricks. I’ve tried to contact you in two separate occasions but you obviously don’t know how to type your fucking email address at your shitty “myshittyemacandprickmyself.com”
Kind regards

Except there is no premium version… can’t even get that right :)
Also, this whole thing… Not very professional from your side. Whereas you claim to be professional on your website.
Anyway, next time use the forum or bugtracker… They’re there for a reason.
*laughs*

you fucking idiot don’t know how to use wpdb->prepare
you should put:
$wpdb->prepare(“SELECT `link` FROM `”.$prefix.”adrotate` WHERE `id` = ‘%s’ LIMIT 1;”, $ad)
instead of:
$wpdb->prepare(“SELECT `link` FROM `”.$prefix.”adrotate` WHERE `id` = ‘”.$ad.”‘ LIMIT 1;”)
you mother fucker!

Will you stop reporting my plugin and just contact me directly if you find a bug?
Now the plugin is AGAIN removed from the repositories… Idiot!
Stop screwing around, last time your *hack* didn’t even work. And now you come with this same shit again?

Obviously such deranged idiots who call themselves professionals can’t be taken serious. Even though his bug report was real… Still, if this is professional; I must be a “elite-masterchief-epic-win-guy”. And even i can be an ass. As my initial email suggests, and even that wasn’t so bad i think.
Oh well, let’s just hope AdRotate is back soon!
Meanwhile, the bug was fixed very soon after the first report. The thread was extremely low. And the WordPress peoples are dicks for taking the plugin offline without telling me. Also they’re dicks for not offering any way to contact them in cases like this. Yes i’m angry with you still!
But at the end of the day… I play Skyrim! And Skyrim… Makes it all good.
