It is good news indeed.

Thanks for the update.

Just letting you guys know there is a pro version for vB4 on DragonByte Tech. vb 3.x and Lite versions for vbulletin.org will be coming in the next few days to a week =)

It figures you'd do a paid version before you did a free version. What a rip-off.

=) Not sure how creating a product and releasing a version of it for free is a rip off to be honest. Still, each to his own I guess.

I see you are a coder - is there a reason you haven't created an advanced Quiz system and released it for free yet?

Seems rather hypocritical to attack someone for being paid for their work and time, when you yourself haven't put in the same work/time to create that product - presumably because you have a job which you get paid at =).

Since you are a coder and see this as such a rip-off, I look forward to seeing the competing quiz mod you create ;)


Iain

Sorry, I don't release stripped down versions of mods to entice people to pay for extra options. And, no, I do not have a job as I am a disabled veteran.

I suppose we could have not released a stripped down version in the first place, though I'm not sure how that would benefit the community.

Unfortunately we have to release full (paid) versions as we are making a living off of vBulletin coding, so releasing everything we create for free is sadly not an option.

I am sure that you were paid for your time in the forces (and i would hope you have a pension now) - and that you understand that most people do work for a wage. That is what our programmers do - work for a wage.

As i said before, as a coder yourself I fail to understand why you have not created your own quiz mod. If you think people are being "ripped off" why not take the time to create one for them =)

Otherwise you are criticizing people for doing something that you yourself would not take the time to do, which strikes me as being rather low.

Iain

No, what is low is doing the bait-and-hook scheme like you seem to do with all of your mods. And I really have no use for a quiz mod so I have no reason to code one. But if I did, it would be like every other mod I have ever released here, for free.

But this isn't going to get us anywhere , so I digress.

The vast majority of people are glad that we release free versions of our modifications. If a lot of our customers disliked it, we would stop doing it. I'm pretty sure the people in this thread would prefer to have a free version released by us, instead of the absolutely nothing you think we should be offering.

If you have no need for a quiz mod, then why come in here and complain about us releasing one? If your aim is just to troll people for daring to make a living vbulletin.org isn't the place to do it.

If you think people should have a quiz mod with no pro version then make and release one, otherwise please troll elsewhere.

Iain

Nice mod Iain, bought and much appreciated.

My complaint is not the quiz mod, it is baiting people to buy a mod to get more options. Why not just release a full pro version of the mod for free? I'm sure that would get you many more accolades from everyone is this thread. You still have all of your other mods to make money with.
