[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
This may not be my place to chime in but i will anyways. I've been using LiquidSmooth roms since the OG Droid days, they were always what i expected back then and deeply contributed to my keeping that phone for so long. I donated a few times simply because i wanted to show my appreciation for there work (its like when doormen at hotels carry your bags to your room and you give them a few bucks, its to show appreciation, its not mandatory but it helps them) did i ever receive benefits for these donations? Hell no, did i expect them? Hell no. I simply did it because i wanted to show my appreciation for there work its that simple.

Now onto this "team of thieves" i see plenty of credits given in there posts.

Example A:

Now that doesn't look like a post that's 'stealing' its giving credit to others code that has been incorporated into the rom. Its not stealing at all. They also leave there entire project as open source, again if somebody is stealing why leave it open source? They leave it that way so if another developers see's something they like, they can contact them about using it in there rom. EVERY single rom created is almost guaranteed to have some idea borrowed from another developer, why? Because its open source, and each developer wants to try and give the users what they want. Stealing would be taking code without asking and then not giving credit, but this is the opposite. So again are they thieves? Nope, you might wanna get your facts checked, and knowledge checked, and evidence checked before making outrageous accusations.

Onto the "begging" thing, where in there thread are they begging for money? Posting a release with a link to the rom, gapps and donation link is NOT begging at all. Posting on twitter that liquids computer died and asking for donations to help him fix that so roms can continue to be developed is NOT begging. Its simply reminding "hey we have a donation link just in case you're feeling generous" when have they ever said "No donation, no rom!" lets see.... never, because that's not how it works. If you want to donate then that is your choice, you don't have a gun to your head, and you aren't paying for the rom. I still donate because i appreciate the work, and know how much time and effort goes into it. I also know that computer parts aren't cheap and that every donation helps. Asking for a simple donation that's a DONATION (not mandatory, not required, etc) is nowhere near begging. Sitting on the corner everyday on your hands and knees asking people for money that's begging. Telling someone "you can only have the download link if you donate 5$" is considered "pay to use", saying "Here's the link, gapps, and donation link" that's not 'pay to use' that's free to use with an option to donate.

And my finally, for somebody who claims liquid is this big bad terrible thieving team, i see no evidence of it, and i highly doubt there is any because its not true. You made some pretty big claims with nothing to back it up except "a little birdy told me" okay well a little birdy also told me that i could fly if i jumped off a bridge, but we both know that's not true ;) Anyways i'm done <3

***I am in no way affiliated with team liquid, and do not represent them in any way, i'm simply chiming in my opinion***
