It is cleary served to Jelsoft as the addons is the part where vBulletin beats IPB or any other low cost forum solution. But Jelsoft always tries to deny this. It also servers to admins and mods of these site as Marco is paid via Jelsoft and other admins are making names for themself which of course increases their hourly rate ;)

I fail to see what either of these posts has to do with signature rules.

It actually is related to signature rules . But if you donot want to see the logic behind John's post , i agree with you , it may look unrelated.

The vB world isn't entirely made up of hobbyists. A rather large part of it consists of business people such as myself. A simple link to my site in my sig being prohibited because I offer a paid service or item seems discriminatory...just my personal perspective. I don't wish to make a product comparison but I will say that IPB seems to be a lot less "uptight" about these kinds of things and I don't notice the world coming to an end there for them because of it. Heck, they have an official resource site that is maintained quite well and I would venture to guess is appreciated by the whole spectrum of their users. Thats the only point I'm trying to make...how all of the users at the org perceive themselves as being treated.

I thought the .org admins making monthly $2000 USD paid via Jelsoft.
What are you think

No....

And two external links should really be sufficient enough to display any of your endeavors (be it business or hobby related).

Always had just 2, its funny how the thread turns into money relating issues :)

but Marco Yes...

Hasann, you really want to debate how much Marco is paid for being the representative of the company ?!... really?

you need to find some friends, have a walk, take a beer, maybe some base-jumping, and then come back and find some USEFUL post to make...

That's not what the new rule says Danny unless I'm misunderstanding it:
