If i recall correctly it only happened once that a modification developer was paid for integrating his work into the default package.


If a modification would make it into the default package, it will only be the idea that will be coded from scratch by the developers.

PS Mostly a modification is the result of requests from users for functionality, the same requests are also made on the vBulletin.com suggestion forums.

I think the damage to vB has already been done. As soon as I get my next check I will moving to IPB. Been a customer since 2003 and its sad to see vB become what it is today.

True word - very true. Doesn't matter who it was, once there're investors in the game the product quality usually begin to suck. That's not bashing IB as a company - that's the typical game on markets to focus on investors instead of customers - BP, Oracle etc. etc. - a long list to be continued
