The org is community driven which is a big factor why it's such a successful site to the point we see copycat sites pop up who will always try to be what vb.org is.

You may have seen it all before but in my opinion the org is different. There are motivated people who will continue to contribute to a site whether or not content is being stolen because often than not the source files are held by the authors not the stealing sites that enduces people to come here/register here to receive modifications of their graphics and styles and support for the scripts they choose to install.


Site's may become stagnated, but designers/coders will never halt in making their submissions. The site is free to an extent sure you still have to own a license but it's free in the way that after your purchase people post their 3rd party addons for free which makes the future of this site strong both for this site and more for jelsoft.

Without this site, jelsoft would not get as many customers as they do or atleast that's merely my opinion in making that statement.

In all fairness this board should feel privledged to have some of the fine coders that have made this place their home and then ashamed of letting the con aritsts have a free reign.

Once more, you don't pay for access to the vbulletin.org forums (or the vB.com forums). You only purchased a license that allows you to use vBulletin and to receive support using the support ticket system. Everything else is not what you have paid for. Access to the forums can be denied to anyone at any time.
