I just installed this great plugin on my site and it no longer asks for you to sign up to the newsletter, which, in my opinion now makes this a very, very good plugin and really should be considered by other users to install on their site.
I wonder how many wordpress bloggers realise that the author has change this in his plugin and made it so it can install without having to subscribe?
Everyone should download and install this!

Vrunda, the maxblogpress ping optimizer plugin isn’t fully so would not have been in the wordpress directory. Even though its a fully free plugin it generally has an affiliate link and requires a free email registration. Thats why you cant find it in the repository. I can’t share my link here since its not my blog. The CBNet version is a “cracked” version of the MBP version and has the registration requirements and who knows what else removed. I personally love maxblogpress and don’t mess with the cbnet stuff but everyone has their choices.

The maxblogpress-ping-optimizer plugin seems to have been forked.
I’m not sure who the old author was, this page doesn’t say, and the old URL doesn’t work anymore.

Like I said, the old URL doesn’t work and I can’t find the plugin by searching in wordpress.
The new plugin works normally, it doesn’t require an email opt-in and you can find it easily just by searching in the wordpress plugins tab.

Great plugin and in all fairness I must say something in support of the plugins developer who has undergone what seems like an “attack” in recent weeks. Nobody likes to be spammed but I don’t believe this is what the developers were doing.
Whether or not it is GPL these people have put a lot of time sometimes thousands of UNPAID hours into creating these things for us users to enjoy at no cost and a lot of the time without thanks. Without these developers we should all think of how things would be…….
Now on the other hand we often see other developers around the internet selling WordPress Themes calling them “premium” themes and what you will find is that even upon paying for one of there themes , they get your email address and subscribe you to their newsletters or you MUST register at there FORUMS – there are many many business doing this , some of them very well known – but to most of you that is ACCEPTABLE ????
I often sign up around the internet for many offers , competitions and even COMMENT on peoples blogs using my email address . Its a risk made everyday that these people do not use my email address for spam but there is always a way out – UNSUBSCRIBE. All that has been necessary for people to do it to instantly UNSUBSCRIBE once there plugin was activated and they got what they wanted ………….. then no more emails ! WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO DO in return for what is one of the best ever and extremely NECESSARY wordpress plugins available ?

After all these years on the internet I am shocked that SO MANY people have trouble using the UNSUBSCRIBE system , it takes only a few seconds to do yet so many would rather continue to complain and flame the developer of a FREE plugin rather than take a few seconds to opt out of a newsletter .
Look at what this world has come to !!!!!!!!!!!!!
