I personally don't support people trying to make money with these kind of things. You don't earn respect by making a program that a few people find useful and then betraying your users by suddenly charging money so they can continue using it.

I had NLH until Oldman betrayed the users with his self destruct code, but I must say I never really used it much before that. And I must say I didn't miss it for a second after it stopped working. The screenshots here don't look that promising to pay this guy money, I would rather donate my money to people who really deserve it. People who host websites or game servers so we all can enjoy it... for free! People who have lots of expenses for things like bandwidth and maintenance, but still offer it for free. If everybody started to charge money, the community would have been dead already. $10 to host Shadowmans maps, $5 to be able to play on the hardmaps servers, $5 to use Ventrilo, $15 to download the IC mod and $5 to upload your custom maps on sites like dfbarracks.

I got the last one and paid for it because i really dont see the problem as it was almost as cheap as a box of matches and would really enjoy getting back into Nile. Unfortunately Shadow i clicked the link and logged in and it said there was an error? Any ideas?

But advertisements for commercial software, what this in fact is, is accepted then? Personally I never saw a good reason that approves NLH suddenly becoming payware and betraying the old users, and when you ask about it people always try to avoid answering to it. I think if you advertise a commercial tool in a commercial forum, you should be able to defend why it's commercial rather then free like everything else in this community.
