Hi Martin,

thanks for these two posts.
I think it is very important for everyone who uses plugins to know about the risks.

Trust is good, but you never should blindly trust anyone.

And this is as important to know: there is no "Authority" which can give you a certificate that a plugin is bullet-proof secure and works well under whatever load you use it.

Another thing plugin users shouldn't forget: a free (in "costs no money") plugin isn't most likely put through exzessive tests. The developer surely had tested it, but not as thorough as he would test it if he gets money for it.

Just my 2 cents :-)

Anyway: use plugins. write plugins. and RATE plugins. This may be the only way you can find out if it works well, or not.

Hi Martin,

Hope you may change your opinion in future? :)

When obtaining any product or service through the internet it's always a good idea to read the reviews of others. The http://www.apex-plugin.com/ site uses a rating/review of the plugins. It's a great idea to leave reviews and even better to read before installing.
