Hi Goodfriend, since this is not open source software and a blatant attempt at spamming these forums in the pursuit of personal gain, I am deleting this post. Any further attempts at spamming the forums will result in a user ban. Thanks.

I went ahead and looked up "Cucusoft" in the hope that I could find an open source license. Nope. Just a ton of price quotes shoved in my face on a web site that looks a lot like free HTML templates... from seven years ago.

But hey. I'm a sporting fellow. I say we give "goodfriend" a chance. Now, like most of the people who come to OSLiving, I believe that open source solutions exist for most things that you could want to do on a computer. I also believe that often, the open source solution is superior to its closed source competitors, but I recognize that this is not always true. Since "goodfriend" has come all the way here with his promotion of "Ultimate DVD Video Converter Suite," I think we should let him stay for as long as he can defend it.

The upshot for him is that if he's actually got something, he'll be able to sell it to us, and he'll get the satisfaction of wiping the smirk off my face and hearing me apologize for my mistake. The upshot for us is that if he doesn't actually have anything, then we'll get to amuse ourselves while we promote an open source project.

So, "goodfriend," if you'll indulge me (and if the site admin will allow me to amuse myself with this for at least a few days to give you time to respond), I'd just like to know what your product can do that MediaCoder can't. MediaCoder is the transcoding tool that I always recommend for Windows users, so if you can sell me on the superiority of your tool, then I'll tell my friends and clients about it and I'll even make you a sleeker web design to sell it.

Right now, I'm pretty sure that MediaCoder has all the features of the "professional" version of your product, and I actually think it might support even more formats. Furthermore, they offer binaries that are optimized for different processors here in addition to regular, generic binaries. Nifty, right?

Alright, "goodfriend." Your turn, if you want to play. Us open source goons (or possibly just me) await your response, or lack thereof. Impress us all!

@Square Bottle, I see your point, but I'm cautious about turning this into a 'game' as it will set a negative precedent. If Goodfriend continues to use the forums as a place to sell products I will have no choice but to ban him/her. This is simply in breach of the forum rules.

On the other hand, I certainly welcome a discussion with Goodfriend as to the merits of his software over the OSS equivalent that you highlight in your post.

So bottom line: discussion is great, using the forums to sell products is not.

[Square Bottle]

I definitely agree on principle, but just so everybody knows what's okay and what isn't, could you clarify what you see as the difference between a discussion about the merits of his software and using the forums to sell his products?

[OSLiving]

Goodfriend's post was not written with a forum discussion in mind. It raises no questions, no arguments and no comparisons with OSS software. All it does is outline a piece of software with the sole aim of attracting customers to buy it. This is not a platform for sales pitches.

[Square Bottle]

Again, I agree on principle. Don't misunderstand me. Nobody is saying that this is a platform for sales pitches.

However, there's a very fine line between "discussing the merits of his software" and "using the forums to sell his products" that has not yet been defined by existing rules or precedents. Catch my drift?

Also, perhaps there should be a section of the forums for non-OSS software that we could move this to. Nothing fancy. Just a "dump" to move stuff to. Deleting works too, of course, but having a visible place that we moved this stuff to would make a very nice and obvious reminder that this is a site for discussing OSS solutions.

A discussion invites others to participate. A sales pitch does not. A sales pitch masquerading as a discussion is not acceptable either. Any post with the purpose of promoting a paid product or service, open or closed source, is not acceptable. There is some ad space on the front page of OSLiving that caters for that.

This is a great idea. I will set up a new board for non-OS software very shortly.

Well, by his silence, I think we can assume that "goodfriend" is conceding to MediaCoder and will not be participating in any discussion that would compare his product with it. Not to be smug about it, but... who didn't expect this?
