This is the issue which I am talking about - you want no part of it, but as a the purchaser of another vB license, I am looking for a mod which will enable me to convert a site from one forum to another. I know there is one alternative, but because its a "paid mod", its not allowed here and therefore I cannot find it.

By limiting my selection to only "free" mods you are not providing me with all options that would otherwise be avaialble to me.



Again, you are discounting the power of a free market. Just because a mod is for sale doesn't mean you have to buy it.



Again, you aren't reading what I am writing. I am looking to buy a mod, not sell one. I give away my mods because they help our customers, which indirectly benefits me. I have no such mod for vB that I would ever consider charging for - does that clarify my reasons for this thread at all?

what makes you think somoene would want to pay for something that they can normally get free ?
the only reason why anyone says they will pay for it is because they want it now, but even then it has to be within reason

also what u just mentioned in terms of converting over
is something u can go to specialists for
theres loads of them

That conversion script is usually something that vbulletin provide for free sooner or later

yeh we don't have to buy it
but you are negating what it implies when they allow mods here
why would anyone want to release a free mod if they can make a fast buck on it
this place soon become the biggest advertising source instead the resource it is today

MPDev 05-10-2004 03:05 PM

Yes, I do. I provide many mods for vB that are free; including this popular one at the top of the BETA forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60917

And a few others, without doing more searching:

http://www.photopostdev.com/showthread.php?t=153

I hope this information is helpful and you can get back to the subject at hand, your preoccupation at making the thread a personal one is starting to get annoying.

yeh u do but remember u do that out of service for your own script
its rather the same for vbulletin
we pay for access 30 pounds a year for this hacking resource

Because I cannot find it for free and I would prefer to do it sooner-than-later; particularily when the "later" isn't defined or even on the radar screen based on current projects discussed on DotCom.

Hmmm... Let's see, pay someone by the hour for something that could be purchased for $40 or $50? You do the math.

And so that would suggest that my hacks are not a contribution to this forum?

why do you make the assumption that the specialist is going to charge more than anyone else that deals in vbulletin modifications

theres a going rate for modifications , for example if i want a hack installed i generally pay something like 10 dollars but thats nothing to do with this forum
i have to go elsewhere

sorry your hacks are a contribution to this forum however they also promote
photopost indirectly

for example to have this loveley feature you also need photopost

MPDev 05-10-2004 03:13 PM

What's the going rate to convert a database from one forum type to vB? Would it be more than $50? By pooling the purchase power of more than one client, you reduce the overall cost to everyone.

The purpose of my hacks make them no less a contribution than yours. Once again, this isn't about me, but it you want to make it so - start a new thread.

sorry if you took it personally but i'm just making points on why we shouldn't
i was only using you as a point for example

Sure, as long as they buy your program first. But what have you released that anyone can use that isn't for your paid program?

MPDev 05-10-2004 03:31 PM

Is this how personal attacks work here - make an accusation and the follow up with "it wasn't personal, I was just using you as an example."? Because that's pretty much the definition of a "personal attack".

Sorry, Boofo, but you are off-topic (once again) and should start a new thread or contact me privately if you have some questions.

My involvement here isn't the issue being discussed - my use of the site as a vB customer looking for mods is.

Now, can you stay on topic or do you need to take a time out?
