I agree with Boofo totally.

I did, too...three months ago.

personally I'm happy that vb.org is free it's been a great learning experience. As for our personal sites, the internet is so big that sharing custom hacks with the community that helped us learn to make the hacks in the first place only makes sence.

buying big systems like, photopost, vbulletin, other, helps support the developers that make their bread and butter from the core scripts so I can see buying multiple licences for that.

But for addons less it's massive I think it's cool for those that share and help us learn how the scripts work for free.... what goes around comes around :)

I think for our personal sites if we want to charge for web design, skins, templates, graphics design it's all good. But vb.org is very much a educational site so to speak, as long as people have proper licences :P
