Little Intro

I've been here for a while but I've not fully understood the protocol yet.

This forum looks fascinating, I've been wondering if there was a forum like this for ages. I've always had many purchased content to share, and always wanted to share and go into GB. In fact I've been organizing GB with some peers in my country for a lot of time for plenty of WordPress plugins and courses, but has been always difficult to find people for such purpose and I've always ended paying a lot.

Now I was thinking: Is there like a guide or something about the site? I see most of the content is hindered, and not sure which are the requisites for accessing.

I've read the rules but I can't seem to find the hint. If anyone can give me a guidance link will be appreciated, anyway I would keep crawling to pick it up

I hope I could start sharing and helping in no time

PS: This is a longer intro

Just so you know, that's not an intro post but thank you for at least taking the time to ask for directions.

Ok, I'm going to do an extra short intro:

I've been working in the IM industry for more than 15 years, also I'm core WordPress and bbPress developer.

What I've found over the years is how the premium subscription plugins have proliferated. I've always been a great advocate of GPL and I've always understood that companies behind these plugins had to earn money from their support services to their plugins (and updates and that)

But many of these plugins have s**t support services, that in fact I've had to solve them many bugs in order to make them serve the right versions. So, basically, I decided to turn my back to those plugins that I use because they extend some functionality, but their support is so bad that I have to do the support job for them. I still pay for a ton of great plugins and themes, like Generatepress, WPML, … but I have to say that every time I need a new plugin I prefer to experience it for a couple of months downloaded from any other source, and if I feel it's worthy I would move to pay for it (and not for it, but their support).

To sum up: This is where I come and why I'm here now
