is there any approx. time for when public beta will be released?

Is it still possible to test that alpha v5?

if IPS Staff didn't check if apps/plugins are safe for end user, can you even imagine how many more problems would they have from community owners that used said app/plugin and got hurt by it, even more chargebacks, even more tickets/emails, even more problems. Would you want that for your company?

This will go the same route it went before, although this looks like a good idea, again - this puts IPS in place where they have to be a middle-man which costs time and effort for very little amount of money which is just simply not worth it. Imagine you having a company and people would require you to work almost for free, would you do it just for the community?

This has been said already and answer will be still the same, if IPS decides to provide even a downloads with links forwarding to authors website, they put themselves in place where they still have to be some sort of middle man and people will hold them accountable if something goes wrong, or demanding removal of such file from downloads. It's simply not worth it for them as a business and I fully understand that you should too.

I admire you in doing so, I'm not saying that this can cause you some problems but I'm also not saying that this will be just a directory, imagine if some developer "scams" client, he will then come to you to find a solution, if you are willing to be a mediator in such scenarios, that's admirable, but I personally wouldn't have time or will to engage with people because of someone else's error.

Why instead of talking about this here, won't you contact authors of apps/plugins you use to find a solution that fits both parties? I understand that this isn't something you are happy about but until October there is more than enough time to transfer your purchases from MP to Author's website.
