Why does Rockettheme support K2 and not Resources?

Hi,
I think Rockettheme templates are simply the best Joomla templates around. I've been using them since about 2 years now. Right now my site uses the Affinity template and we get very positive reactions from our visitors.
The Affinity template has support for the K2 component built-in. I ask myself why RT is supporting this component. Allthough it promises a lot of very interesting features and looks like a very nice and promissing add-on for any Joomla site, the scripts are extremely buggy and support from the developers is nearly unexisting.
Would it not be better to support Resources from http://www.mightyextensions.com ? Allthough the features and the possibilities are slightly different, it looks like a much more stable component with a strong team of developers and very good support.
Can anyone of he RT team comment on this?
Thanks and keep up the good work.

thHmm...because it's buggy, no free examples and their site gets hacked monthly?
Or maybe it's just me... :shock:

I still like the idea of K2 CCK however, saying that, it makes more sense to use JUGA from dioscouri.com. That will give you better ACL with the Joomla core which is all you really need. The comments are still through DISCQUS or whatever so thats not really a K2 thing that cant be added to Joomla articles.

- Joomla no longer likes people using any derivative of Joomla in a company name that could imply affiliation or whatever.

JoomSuite changed their name because they have a horrible reputation among many many companies that put their trust in them and their components.
They also got hacked by a very disgruntled customer and changed their name shortly after.
Regardless of Joomla not liking it, it's not illegal to use the Joomla name as a word in a phrase.
That's like saying you can't have a domain called "NikeShoes.com" or "SorelBoots.com". - David Kauzlaric

Actually, a company can stop you from using their name if they can prove that it purposefully misleads a consumer to thinking they are affilated or misrepresenting you, etc etc etc. Also, I don't think you can have a site called NikeShoes.com without Nike saying something about it. But this is off topic. I get it, you dont like JoomSuite aka Mightextensions.
What about using JUGA for ACL instead? - Great Links:

I am currently using CB Subs and it is working great. I am surprised at how easy to setup and configure it is.
I tried out JUGA and AMBRA but I couldn't seem to get it to restrict content? I may have missed a step but it didn't seem straightforward to me.
To date I have tried the following:
JoomSuite Member
AMBRA / JUGA
OSE Membership
two other ones I cant remember the name of...
They didn't work, or at least I had a hard time getting them to work...
I installed CB Subs and it works as advertised and I could setup CB Subs on a website and configure it within an hour.
Really impressed. The only problem is that it lacks coupon codes but that is coming in the future I guess.
You have any luck with membership/subscription components? - David Kauzlaric
