What is the problem of macupdate?



They used to:

    * list alpha/beta software as new releases, even without the dev's consent
    * re-list software as updated, even when no updates have occurred
    * the owner has on several occasions rewritten various app descriptions
    * re-wrote and misspelled one of my company names and ignored requests to change it 
    * ban any form of in-app mature content based on "religious principles" IIRC
    * refused to list one of my apps because the owner didn't see the "utility" in in it, 
    even though Apple and VersionTracker both happily hosted 500K D/Ls..
That comes from the corrospondence I've had with the owner over the years. He's generally been a giant asshole and we finally quit updating to them several years ago.

It's always possible things have changed.
