Breaking news (maybe?) : They now allow Clover discussions on their forum (there's even a separate section for 'alternate' boorloaders).

Just my two cents   :

I was temp banned on their site & forum a while ago  for  'blatantly disregarding the rules regarding posting information about unreleased software' (10.8.4 beta in combination with new Nvidia driver information) , directly without warning first.
Though they were right in banning me, as 10.8.4 was only in Appleseed that time I think it would be more wise to warn me first so I could correct my actions.
Fortunately I was able to contact one of their admins to discuss this and explain what I exactly did and what intentions I had with it, which resulted in the ban immediately lifted.
So I guess there are some sensible moderators (or Tony himself, message was signed with Tonymacx86 , not signed with 'moderator' oslt) at work which can look into situations propery
Also my suggestions for documentation of the rules and banning prcoess where taken into consideration, so that's a plus too.

I also have mixed feelings about Tonymacx86.com, though I think that it is a great resource for newbies (like me once) to start with and get some clear information, and not being overloaded with information and options which may confuse people. Also the time being spent in writing easy to read tutorials is appreciated (at least by me ;-) )
Though they might be a bit agressive with their (automatic?) banning process and their fanatic policy to keep things  tidy their way, I think it never hurts to help to try to keep in contact and see how both communities can work together in the best possible way. So the hackintosh community can benefit from this all.

Do you, after reading that topic, still believe that we don't help newbies?

As to tonymac, I don't believe their tools help newbies a great deal, they would be better off with a distribution.

Voldemort's spells are tempting, but in the end the result is a zombie like the legion we all know. Even because he didn't really create the magic, so it's tainted from the very beginning. To use his tricks, you must not need them, to not to become a zombie yourself.

If you understand me.

All the best!

P.S.: and you know, sometimes a zombie escapes and ends up here. To bring them back to the sanity is no easy feat.

Work together? You mean just give them all the kexts and apps and never release them in are own name...

Multibeeast and unibeast is just myHack 1.1 and thats it... just stolen installer and file management...

myHack 3.1.2 has been downloaded 396,759 times. That would suggest me that most users are not blindly following tonymac. http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/

And it would be 4x that if myHack 1.1 was not stolen and rebranded... at least.
