    Same for me. I have been away from the site for a while and now nothing works.

    I hate to think of all the streams of income I've lost because I based a method on some other company. I recall when Ebay decided to drop digital downloads - that cost me a four figure monthly income.

    In my humble opinion, this should be a wakeup call for everyone to try to build their business apart from any other online entities as possible.

    I recognize that some, such as Aweber or Getresponse are simply too valuable... but the more you can separate your sites from reliance on ANYONE else, the better off you'll be.

    Didn't they just release a new plugin wp list magnet?

    Funny thing, the sales page now is down with the mention thye can't sell the plugin anymore. I know this is an old thread but still relevant as they launched it a couple of weeks ago...

    PS: i got a review copy for this new plugin and it sold 100+ copies in a couple of days before they closed...

    Well good that this "old threat" is alive and kicking again, because i don't think much has changed.. I seems like they have aborted their previous plugins such as cloakfm, contentfm, tagfm etc.. and started new plugins to generate money.. When i bought a lifetime account i expected lifetime plugin development and support but that is not what i got.. Looks like they "reinvent" plugins (under a different name) to generate money.. give some support and updates for a while and start 'new' plugins to generate (more) money again.

          I have tried to install Cloak FM after two years but it failed. Contacted support at Profit Marketer, this is their answer:
          "Cloak.FM has ceased support and is not been updated especially for the later releases of wordpress.
          Kind regards,Ben


          In a few words: we have been ripped off. Beware and think twice before you buy anything from Profitmarketers.com. You know what may happen.
          I am now asking them for a refund, but doubt I will get it.
          If I don't, their company name goes to Ripoff report.

    This is the answer I got from Gary Prendergast, the original seller of Cloak FM. Now, does anybody think he is right in any way? Did they really give support to this plugin for 3 1/2 years? I would like others to tell me? And even so, is that a justification to tell buyers this plugin you purchased with us you can throw it away, it won't work you any more. Did they really sell the plugin with a 12 month support or did they say "lifetime support".
    =========================================
    [quotes] It looks like you purchased Cloak.FM for $17 on Thursday,
    April 12, 2012 9:31 PM
    By my calculations that was over 3 and 1/2 years ago.
    Like the majority of WordPress plugins the BlogPiG and .FM
    plugins were only ever sold individually with 12 months support and
    updates.
    As a courtesy we continued to update some of the plugins (without
    charging renewal fees) beyond the 12 months.
    Unfortunately it simply isn't possible to do this indefinitely
    and Cloak.FM has now been deprecated.
    I'm sorry that you feel this is unfair and that you feel the need
    to share your feelings with others.
    I have no issue with you doing so but please ensure you explain
    all the facts of your situation:
    - you paid $17 via a WSO
    - it included 12 months support & updates
    - despite this you got 3 1/2 years of service out of the plugin
    I certainly won't be refunding you after 3 1/2 years have
    passed.
    As an aside I am curious as to what you have been doing with
    Cloak.FM in the preceding 3 1/2 years?
    Where you not using it for affiliate marketing in that time?
    Have you honestly not seen a positive ROI on your $17 in those 3
    1/2 years?
    In my experience of using the plugin in the past it would
    easily boost affiliate commissions by $17 in just a few days
    (depending on what you where selling) so the ROI over 3 1/2 years
    should have been fairly dramatic, if it had been used
    correctly.
    Anyway, that's my stance. I know I've been more than fair in
    supporting Cloak.FM for this long and unfortunately it is now
    end-of -life.
    Time moves on, products move on, WordPress has moved on,
    technology moves on.
    All the best with your online efforts in the future.
    Thanks
    Gary
