They would provide detailed instructions with their profiler just as with all other KC products. Space and hosting is not as expensive or complicated as you may think (they probably already have plenty of space). Advertisements are nothing more than the tiniest bit of code at the bottom, side, top or where ever they would so choose, if they would even want to do that (it wouldn't bother anyone so hopefully they would consider). I think KittyCats would prefer to provide a service to their customers that would hold up the integrity of their standards and cause less complaints. People in the community would not feel bullied or have to be fearful of their profilers being shut down (never happened to me, just stating facts). I think it would be a great idea for these reasons and I am sure Kitty Cats have this on their minds. I agree nothing is free nor should it be just for the time etc. The cost of the profilers would outweigh the intial setup, which again, not as complicated as you may think (at least not for the web programmers). I don't think there were a ton of support tickets for the other profiler. I think he may have had to help a few because of the auction feature. I don't think kc needs to make a complicated interactive profiler, rather a simple profiler that pulls from the database that already exists. Pretty much what's already being pulled from the other profilers.

The basic script to display pedigrees in world is already there, it's a matter of putting it into a nicely formatted display product. If KC were to do this, provide their own pedigree & traits profile board to their customers, then it eliminates a lot of the issues that apparently have frustrated so many people.

about "buyig a product only to have it shut down & their $ wasted" are still rumors, until i will see proofs

It did actually shut down for a few days and most of us who purchased them are not using them now because Callie has not given the okay for this.

She doesn't have to give the ok he removed her images which where infringed works! The names i am almost sure can't be copyrighted because they are technically real furs and due to there generic nature of them. At this point its completely ok to use the profilers! There nothing being infringed! As far as using the data from the servers goes! I don't see how that could be infringement because there is no terms regarding its use. its open to the public if he was bypassing some sort of security then thats another ball game... but with out a terms of use and with out any type of security or encryption. Then that information is free to be used how ever.

Umm.. They already have the database. It's called the cattery/pedigree, and they already have a provider. It's hosted right here on kittycats.ws
The extra bandwidth to serve the profilers that must be paid? Guess what? That's the bandwidth that the third party profilers use today, and they aren't paying for the services they take from KittyCats.

Perhaps it won't be as expensive as you think?

They do yes and no they could upgrade the data base they have now thought.. not sure how viable that is where talking about adding a TON of information and then making it search able then having a system setup where it display's the cats to the general public + having a HTML interface anyone can get into! The pedigree we have now while amazing! is still kinda limited think about when you go to search for a cat in your own cattery... that kinda stuff wouldn't really work for a search able database people would expect more streamline and faster. It make more since to create a new data base even then. Someone needs to maintain it... there is increase storage and traffic cost... because a web market would be sending more data to and from the cats!! and people listing said cats and buying said cats... and the storage needed to hold the tables of what cats where for sale. It wouldn't be as simple as just tacking it on to what we have now. Its a lot to do from a working stand point. I really personally prefer to see Kittycats focus more on updating the tools we have letting someone else fill the void!.
