I was surfing the net and decided that I want an upgraded version on PHP Nuke for my site. So I went to the PHP Nuke site. On the frontpage it says that version 7.7 final costs $10. In the download box the last version I could find is 7.5 (so I think its the last free one). Do you think that the beloved free portal is not going to be free in any future version?

i believe not. They have seen that so many people are using it and now they are going to try and make money off of it. This really pisses me off when they make something good for free than they come up and make you pay for it.

You bring about a very interesting point. Whenever they come out with free software thats really good you usually have to pay for it eventually. I have another theory though, maby they will release previous versions that you had to pay for to the public for free when they come out with a new version.

This has alsways been the case, PHPNUKE doesn't allow the public to get their hands on it until a couple of months.
Latest is 7.6 xboxrulz |

Yes, i don't use phpnuke anymore because of that, this is so frustrating, i hate all of them because of that, if php nuke is free it's free if it's not free it's not free, I ahte when they do that, money money and money, I know that is hard developing applications when you don't have money but I don't think that this is the case here....

Well its good to know that we are getting it eventually. Also, they only charge $10 and most formerly free website software is usually very expensive. Take Invision Power Board for example they used to be free now a premanant licence is over $100. Also will anyone PM me when they release a new PHP-Nuke to the public.

I'm sure that in no time people will be finding illegal copies of the latest version floating around on the Internet, then it will be getting spread. For a portal, it looks really nice. Many people may not consider the cost worth it, especially if new releases are coming out that require you to update it all over again because an exploit is found, or some other flaw. Free is nice, obviously. But there are many other portal options out there that are still free for alternatives.

It's bad to lose a source that offer free software. I hope that they will reconsider to continue their free offer.
