then in my opinion you are not doing much to get this accomplished, you are only here to reap the rewards of others hard work and risk. Most people in this thread, it seems to me, do not want to resell the final product. We want it to be exclusive, to the people who stepped up and took a chance. That means you will not be able to benefit from it, which is fine with me - no risk, no reward, Oddjob.


Of course - I'm just talking out my rear at the moment, because it's all hypothetical at this time anyway. :D

If you all are looking for someone to escrow then it's as simple as someone volunteering to place the money somewhere safe but then you have to trust that person. That's a lot to ask. We're talking a minimum of 3000.00 and probably more or it will not be a quality product. It's also going to be a bit of work for someone to work with the programmer(s) to make sure things are going ok. Like I said, it's going to be very hard to raise that kind of money because of trust factor. I'd volunteer for it but like I said the program would also have to be able to make money afterwords. For instance, people could buy extra chips for quick cash through paypal as well as receiving chips / cash for posts and referrals and such.

Then we have the problem of who owns the copyright to the program? How on Earth will that ever be worked out?

We all enter into an NDA. Like i mentioned befoire - if the urls of the site this will be used on is hardcoded into the program, it will make everything a lot easier.


So, who do we trust to hold the money? I'm trustworthy, but none of you know me. :P

Ya the more that sign up the cheaper it is,,,,,,,,,,,,,with that said I am also in!!!

I would be interested in getting in on this too $150-$200

Does anyone know the status of this yet?!?

If i see a real effort by people putting up money into a trusted account then fine, yes i could do $150ish. I have a hard time trusting people with my money on the internet.

If someone gets it going, coount me in.

Only a fool doesn't. :D

bummer when vbulletin upgrade, and you want it. and the script wont work? :S ask for free upgrades :P lol

I will start work on this under the following conditions.

1. Someone needs to handle the money, or setup a donation fund etc.. that way the money is accounted for and ready; can issue refunds etc.. if for example I die.. or can no longer lend my time to the project.

2. It will be my source, my time invested, and copyright to me But it will remain open source code and be posted as a hack on Vbulletin.org under addons.

If everyone can agree to that, I will start work asap.

It's great that you are interested in doing this great addition Trigunflame.

I wish I was better off financially to help out atm but unfortunatly that isn't the case so; Thank you very much for wanting to keep it open-source.
