But it's no excuse to make people wait for months and months based on a promise we haven't delivered too. It's time we have some action rather than just talk.

well, ok let wait for some cool action to get the act together.

Wow - thats fantastic news.

vBAdvanced Links Directory would be something to look into. I'd give you my license if needed :p I'm sure Jelsoft could cover it though, but the offer stands. :)

Wow... Administrative response due to "customer/user" complaints. I love that in a forum.

Thank you all for working with the users on this one.

I actually get chills of joy running down my spine whenever I read this. This is what I call improvement, and you have my respect for doing this.
I think I speak for everyone on vBorg and their underage sisters when I say: Thank you.

One small suggestion though: Would it be possible to place golden posts like this in a Sticky and Locked thread in the Announcements section? As you have seen, posts is this thread gets buried under pointless bs rather quickly when both sides ran out of gas to throw on the fire, and I would hate for anyone to miss your posts.

I'm luvin' it!!

QUICK.. someone quote it in their sigline!

I just wanted to pipe in here and say that I agree that the coders at vB.org make vBulletin a more appealing product. I handle a lot of the presales calls and tickets, and most times when a person asks about functionality that doesn't exist in vBulletin I've seen it as a mod over here and refer them to that.
There are literally hundreds of hacks over here I would love to see in the base product, but as you guys know, developing a base product is a balancing act between putting in functionality that people want and keeping the program light enough to operate on most shared hosting solutions without overloading the server.
By offering the hacks you guys do you allow us to achieve that end while still being able to point to vB.org and telling people that X function is available there.

I just wanted to thank all the coders here for all the hard work they put in. Sorry for being so long-winded about it.

Thanks Martin. Its comments like this (and Erwins) that make contributers feel more appreciated than even install counts and w00t posts can.

aww shucks. it weren't nothin...
