[plugin - release] Amazon Store

What if he was just curious as to why this or that?

About the plugin, very strange. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.

Possible, and if he was just curious I will have to apologize to him.

For what you are saying, there are a few Amazon Stores embedded in MyBB, I also have one that doesn't use a plugin and I had that store for the last 12 months.
The plugin is done, again, for the users that do not know how to code, or to modify the templates. Also for the ones that are to lazy to make one for themselves.
I don't think that someone with some knowledge of php, html and a little bit of css will find hard to make another one.
As I said, I don't care if another one will be released as long as it is not using my code.

I am sorry that my remark caused so much controversy. English is not my strongest language, and sometimes I can be a little terse.

As a system administrator, the phrase host name does not refer to one's hosting provider, but to the name of the individual machine. This host name can show up as a subdomain name. When I saw the subdomain of test, I thought it was a testing ground. All of my testing grounds get restored to a known state on a regular basis (new registrations and posts are wiped clean). Turns out that part of my assumption was correct. Thor uses this server to test plugins and new features.

When someone develops a plugin, they want something in return. At the bare minimum credit for the plugin. Some developers ask that you register on their site and make x number of posts. Membership numbers and post counts can increase the value of that site - both when determining how much they should receive from advertisements and how much to ask when they sell the site.

With a subdomain of test I didn't see how increased membership numbers would benefit Thor.

You are right, at the beginning that site was intended only for testing my plugins, also at that time I had a few attacks on one of my forum, and the only way to get rid of them was to "ban" the guests in that forum, from that moment I become overcautious and I decided to let only registered users download my plugins, also only registered users to be able to post there. Now I can't change the subdomain because is well know as "test", it will take time to propagate and for users to change their bookmarks, so I decided to keep it as test.
I apologize if I was rude in any way, is not my way of behaving. Sorry.

Years ago you could make thousands from an Amazon affiliate account. But the past 5 years it's just terrible. IMHO it's just not worth it.
