It seems as if this forum has something against cracked minecraft users, perhaps a stigma.
Some people just cannot afford the game, Notch even said it's fine if people used minecraft minecraft.
Just 2 days ago, I downloaded a cracked minecraft launcher and it works great, but I'm wondering if it will ever be acceptable to talk about it here on the forums, because cracked minecraft is technically REAL minecraft it only just runs without going through the authentication system.
So why is it frowned upon then? If it's completely legit.
Buy the game and support the developers and further development. It's a great value for the money. And if you have multiple users in the home then buy multiple copies. I bought 3 licenses... 1 for myself and 2 for my children.
Whether you have cracked minecraft or not is irrelevant to any discussion. If you're discussing the newest snapshot, your most recent creative build, how to mob-proof houses in survival etc. there is no need to mention that you have cracked MC.
It's not different from the actual game besides not having access to most servers, so it's not a relevant discussion subject.

What's the picture for? Did you mean to put it in every post, like some users have? If so, just create a signature by going into your account and pasting the image in there.
OT: I'm sure talking about it is fine, it's just that you're being cheap.
Because what you are doing is called piracy which is not ok. What you are doing is like going to a restaurant for a nice meal and then not tipping your waiter who's pay is partly based on what the restaurant projects his tips will be. Using cracked Minecraft is the same thing the developers don't get their "tip" to continue development and to make new updates to our wonderful game.
The strong dislike of pirating minecraft here made me wonder... did anyone else start out with cracked minecraft? I know I did, but I bought the actual game within no time when I found out how much content the game offered for its price. That was over 4 years ago.

I bought it legitimately first. Then I discovered cracked to mess around with my friend by cracking his server without him noticing and logging in on his account. He nearly wet his pants when he had changed his password for the third time to no avail.

Basically, it's an illegal form of the game. Saying "I have cracked Minecraft" is like saying "I have some weed" (unless you live in Colorado). It's is perfectly natural for a somewhat wholesome forum to want to keep people from talking about it.
It's not a good idea for the 'official forum' of the game to allow discussion about getting and/or using cracked copies of the game. Not only does it put users at risk of contracting a 'malicious' copy, but it would encourage the use of them which is most likely bad for the company, because I think for every person who says they bought a copy after using cracked there are probably twice as many or more who haven't and most likely will never do so. Especially when the cracked versions are getting so good that there isn't a lot of downside anymore.
Notch said what he said because he was a realist and knew that pirating is going to happen, in fact he likely did it himself many times. To people in the pirating community it gave him cred for being open minded and made them feel like he was endorsing them. He ultimately just wanted people to play his game and knew if it was good enough there would be some who would buy to avoid some of the hassle that a non-legitimate copy carries with it.

It is not allowed, because you are pirating the game. We do not support piracy.
I'm not sure you fully understand the meaning of legit...
Because it's cracked. Simple as that.
Figured it was time for a change.

because encouraging pirated games might open the owner of this or other forum to being sued at court.
and the line between talking and encouraging is thin, so everyone is encouraged by rules not to talk about it
No, it's semi-legit.

Not even a little legit. You either bought an account or you didn't.
not allowed here that's all

How not to look like a total fool in the forum games

Because they may spread and may contain viruses.
Well most of them are clean but still...

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
Because you're kinda supporting something that's illegal buddy.
Wow, a signature, like the best one, just wow I love this one
