I think something that would be good is some kind of "Links Directory" like they have @vB.com, except with a difference...

There would be a link in the user's profile to their Link entry/entries, and they could fill out a Site Description for the site, plus contact details, Site History, vBulletin Version, Number of Hacks Installed, and have a tiny thumbnail picture of a Site Screenshot...Then others can view their site profile contained within the Link Directory, and rate the site, and read up about it...

The Link Directory would then have categories, which you can add your Site Profile to...

Hi tubedogg (da expert),
Hi All....

I hestitated pretty much before writing this post....

While I sincerely CARE for vbulletin.org and should not miss the opportunity of saying what should be done to improve it, I am at the same time afraid of stepping on anyone's toes...

I will try my best, please forgive me if I am too harsh ..

1 - The forums on vbulletin.org are DEAD slow.... I take part on many many forums, and vbulletin.org is one of the slowest ....

now this is the problelm ... where is the solution I am proposing ???

Solution: Move vbulletin.org to faster and better connected servers ......

But who will cover the expenses ?? vbulletin.org does not place ads or banners on the forums pages ??? ........

Answer : I


I will tell you where to get this money from.....


Keep reading with me :

2 - sooo many requests stay not honoured for days and days till they are totally forgotten though the question really does not take more than a minute of any one of many hundreds of experts coming to this forum regularly and reading the request....

If you pay those that DO help, everybody will be faaaaaar more eager to help, especially, if you pay those that help you based on user evaluation of the helper....

again, I will tell you where you get this money from...


I will stop here with the problems and tell you the solutions to those....

Money...

and you can get lots of it ....

Look how many thousands of people come every month to this site vbulletin.org, and they take all the hacks they wish, and even often without saying thank you to the author of the hack who maybe spent many many long nights working on the hack....

For me, the hacks are THE ESSENCE of vbulletin, and Honestly, if I did not have access to those hacks, I would not be using vbulletin, but rather ANY of the many tens of similar FREE software available from any of the many scripts sites like Hotscripts.com


Let me be brief : we pay 85 dollars a year for the license of vbulletin..... would it be too much if we pay 10 dollars more to get access to vbulletin.org and all those great hacks ???

of course not...

that is less than one dollar per month...

If you think this is too much, imagine PPN or Logician spending the whole night working on a hack that you will download and use ....... Does not he deserve you invite him to a cup of coffee ??

well, that is it !!!

Make access to vbulletin.org and the hacks PAID..... 1 dollar per month or 10 dollars per year is a reasonable price for me...

That is my personal opinion..... and I hope you simply accept it as an opinion....

good god no... ill leave here faster than maurice greene on speed if the hacks are paid...

hmm, i don't see the problem..
as i know vb.org runs on the same server as vb.com does.
and all pages loads very fast, so i think the speed problem is your ISP

ja vielleicht .... aber...

(yes maybe, but ..)

as I said I am on many forums and some others load much faster... It still could be my ISP...

What ISP are you with? I regularly get pages timing out and refusing to load here, I have a tendancy to think its my ISP though.

I use Tiscali, and never have any problems:)
