There have been a dozen or so calls for a newsletter modification over the years. It's a seldom requested modification and one that developers have been largely reluctant to spend time with. The lower the demand for a paid product, the higher the cost of supplying it will ordinarily be. If someone is willing to develop a working free version other than the one already available, more power to them. Development won't increase the demand for a product which has myriad reasons for not being in demand. I don't believe it fair to classify this issue as anything going wrong with vBulletin and vB.org.

I think you got it wrong, he means that when ever he posts a thread in req for paid service, he used to get 50pm's for that task, now he is only getting 5pm's,

Lol, ok maybe i misread that but the fact remains that this forum still is fun, maybe you have to look for it on occassion but its still here :)
