    I dont as i plan to switch soon to newer script :). It doesnt hurt to have script link at footer much, you can always make it no-follow. Because there are no rules set as to what sort of link should remain.

    At the very least, paying to get the credit link removed shows submitters that you are serious about investing in your directory.

    Well...i usually submit most of the time to directories with no footer links to phpLD.
    That shows that the promoter is serious in directory and it's not yet another directory in town :)
    I have removed the backlink option on all 4 paid directories of mine. Fifth ofcourse is a free directory so i still haven't bought the removal for that :)

    i dont pay them for getting link removed because it doesn't matter that much anyways if i have their link.

    I prefer the unbranded versions; I inquired about an unbranded v2.x, but never received a reply to my PM @ their forums.

    I think its more professional to remove the link, that is why I purchased the unbranded 3.06 version. Now, I have to make some good cash so I can remove the template designer link off the footer.

    i had it removed on 1 & kept it on for the other.

    Now that u reminded me, may consider removing it. However, i really don't see that it is such a big deal keeping it on. For me, it just reduces the number of outbound links I can place on the page....
