    The title says pretty much everything you need to know.

    Still waiting till my thread is approved by mods...

    Welcome to Majorgeeks.

    Unfortunately, I've had to edit your post and your signature as both are too much like advertising which we do not allow.

    My software is Open Source and free to use. It's not ad-supported and it doesn't have any bundled software. I don't even ask for donations. While I initially made the software for myself, I decided to share to with others so that people could benefit from it as well. I'm not expecting anything in return. So I fail to see how the "No Advertising - You are not permitted to make money using Majorgeek." rule applies to me.

    I made this software because I wasn't happy with what was available. Alternatives tend bundle unwanted software, have free versions with major limitations and require an Internet connection, non-portable(must be installed before they can be used). My software does a better job anyway because it errs on the safe side by default(it can be adjusted), instead of urging users to do as many risky actions as possible in order to appear more useful.

    I hope it's just a misunderstanding and not MajorGeeks expecting to get a cut from featuring software that tries to trick users into installing software they don't want while intentionally omitting alternatives that don't generate revenue.

    Understood. Its all a matter of the fact that all software hosted on our site is tested by the two owners. We don't allow anyone to list their software in a post, so its nothing against yours and doesn't have to do with revenue. We aren't like the huge download sites out there that host anything and everything. Here's info on how software is picked: http://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/aboutcontact_us.html

    You can also follow that link and scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the email for where to submit your software for review. :)

    Nice! Congrats on having it approved. :)

    If you want to start a thread in our Software forum (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21) just explaining it, I think that would be fine as long as you link to the Majorgeeks download as you did above.

    Did you start a thread? I haven't seen one go into moderation and there isn't one there now.

    I did. It said that it went into moderation. I'm going to post it here so it could be moved in the correct section.
