I don't really understand your post, I'm pretty sure I just said we wouldn't have a forum for paid mods. A commercial directory is a list of sites that sell vb modifications - nothing would be for sale on vb.org itself.

I'd like to see this commercial directory in action AND offered as a plugin. (ASAP)
I run a free noncomercial site and am getting fed up with people joining just to promote their products at my expense.
My sites grown to the extent that it needs more disk space/ bandwidth and needs to move out of a shared server, and the above could be a way to make it self-supportive without degrading the non commercial appearance of the forums.

I'm sure there would be others who'd be interested in having a separate directory to redirect commercial interests plus use this as a way to help pay for operating costs.

Can you please merge this poll/thread with this thread? It discusses exactly the same matter and I think this poll adds to that thread.

I don't think a paid mod forum is the way foward though a paid mod directory would do nicely.

vB.org would never do that, for starters you said "all the money" goes to the designers. What about the bandwidth that vB.org would be using to offer these downloads from here. They would be giving bandwith away for FREE, which they have to pay for. While other people make money at their expense.

Would you do that?

This topic is from 2006, AND has been asked 24 times (if you bother to do a search). With that said; within those 24 posts is a clear and consice answer to the commercial directory/paid modification anwers.

Thanks
