      Quite a few moderators in this forum seem to be on Netgate's payroll nowadays. So they do not only represent an open source project but also a company.

          As long as they offer a good free version and keep their hardware competitively priced, why does that matter? To a home user like me, I like the free stuff and it keeps people trying out their software. If I were buying hardware for a company, I wouldn't be using a junk server from the hall closet, I'd buy from someone who has as active base for quality control purposes, such as free software provides.

          also, ivor, how can you be off topic in a general discussion … just asking.

            This thread is in the General Questions board, a child board of the English Support forum. GD is at the bottom of the main page.

              As long as they offer a good free version

              The distribution is free and if they decided to walk a way that is more safe then the other both ways, able to work,
              this might be a real gain for me, and then I think this might be a good version, they do care on us, theirs customers and users.

              and keep their hardware competitively priced, why does that matter?

              And if this hardware is to high in price, who is pressing you to buy it? No one? Ok what is to high in price
              and what is "competitively priced"? If it is to high in price don´t buy it, spend some coin each year
              or one times only what you can or you are willing to spend.

              To a home user like me, I like the free stuff and it keeps people trying out their software.

              Who not!? or better me too, but if the developers get older and founding up a family they have mostly not
              more time because they must work to get money to pay the bill! I don´t know how much pocket money
              you have, but $5 each year might be possible to realize, or? Free means that software is free of charge
              but not free of cost!

              If I were buying hardware for a company, I wouldn't be using a junk server from the hall closet,

              Also even a start company is not sorted with the big cash for sure.

              I'd buy from someone who has as active base for quality control purposes, such as free software provides.

              If it might be really matching there are actual something around ~2 million active pfSense installations running! (world wide)
              And if all of them spend only $2 a year, we can trust on it, that we have a long time future using pfSense.

              ….also, ivor, how can you be off topic in a general discussion ... just asking.

              ivor was perhaps provided snitching (revealing) one or more things about the future way of pfSense
              and now he is in pain, because others may told him not to repeat it and many of yours are asking
              exactly for that manner again and again and again. Perhaps he is only trying to tell you that in a
              friendly way and you might be not able to read this between the lines, are you?

                jailer, welcome to the forum police. Please excuse me if I ignore you.

                BlueKobold, I admire the way you parsed something rather innocuous into a Russian conspiracy. Please excuse me if I regard you as being somewhat less credible than someone who is fact oriented. You should  try getting out of your mom's basement a little more often. Sunlight is nice.

                  You asked a question, I answered it. No need to be a dick about it.

                    Yes, sometimes there is a need. Like I said, I lack people skills but make up for it in other ways. The forum police are my god give enemy. Smite them all to hades. Then laugh at them while relieving myself on the dirt. Curse the snowflakes who complain about my bad example. Your safe space is made of tissue. Pardon me while I use it for my most elemental needs.

                      @NOYB:

                      So you, ivor, don't respond to direct and yes relevant questions and then chastise people for making assumptions about those questions and what silence says.

                      Whatever.

                      I have no idea what you are talking about. I suggest you cool down.

                      You suggest I cool down from that?

                      Wow, these requests for clarification of statements in the official blog must really be hitting some nerves.

                        I think you should stop. There's no need to insult others or be passive aggressive. Jailer and BlueKobold have right to participate in this discussion just as you do. I happen to agree with them, no need to be rude about it.

                          I think it's time to lock this thread. I did my best to keep it open for discussion however certain individuals do not appreciate that and would rather go off-topic. Thanks Jailer and BlueKobold (and few others) for trying to help! :)
