It does take money to keep anything running, some out of the generosity of an individual or sponsor, some out of a collective group. Even the terms of service with many commercial services don't offer a guarantee of being around for long enough for all the paid subscribers or whatever. So I wouldn't gripe about the previous iteration of Performacing Metrics shutting down, but the non-disclosure on Clicky is a little suspicious, but not entirely immoral or unethical. Private labeling is allowed in my book. I had used Performancing Metrics before, and realize that a free service doesn’t come with any guarantees or hope for longevity.

This isn't an issue with the Clicky product - it actually looks amazing! Congratulations, I intend to give it a run here and see how it goes. The issue is with Performancing. They've offered a Metrics product in the past, then ripped it from the community's hands when they needed a few quick bucks. Then, when the deals fell through, they shut it down due to lack of resources. Now, they are setting up Clicky on their servers? Did they just happen to get more server power? Doubt it, it's probably because Clicky is a better product. Why did they not mention they were using Clicky? They tried to pass it off as if this were some great new sliced bread coming from the Perfomancing house - when it's not. @Sean

Obviously we are not going to disclose the financial details of our agreement, but I don't see why this is an issue? David's company bought Performancing and knew the Metrics community was big, but he wanted something different. He liked our product and asked us to partner with him. We were looking to do something like this anyways, and we plan to do it more in the future. It is not just a ploy to earn affiliate commissions - he has "officially" licensed our product and is hosting it on the Performancing servers. He believes in our product, as do we, otherwise we wouldn't be in this position. I don't know what else to say, but I think you are being overly negative for no good reason. :) Rebranding may not be that common in the web space, but it is a very common practice in the real world, particularly with hardware.
