Selling Hacks
 

Before you post in the poll, please be sure that you read this text.

This Poll is inspired by, but not in relation to the whole “Tetris/Arcade” Hack problem. The question I ask is because I’m naturally curious as to what other people think in relation to the question I’m about to ask.

What I don’t want people to do is use the tetris/arcade problem as a basis for your answer, but rather your own general view of how things should be run here at vB.org.

OK, here is the question “Should hackers be allowed to advertise paid-for hacks on vB.org”

Please feel free to post comments, but lets not get into an argument about it.

I personally voted for yes because I feel that this is a "Hacking" community, for any type of hack, not just the free ones.

If it's an extraordinary hack, then yes.

My answer is yes.

Yeah, I agree with NexDog's words :)

Sorry, I have to say "no" on this one. It takes all of the fun out of hacking and sharing ideas for me.

No, and especially not support...

...that's what your own forums are for.

I should add, maybe a link to where your hack is might be okay in your sig...but not a PayPal link or something...only a link that would take you offsite to your own forum...

Because I am not against purchasing hacks. I have done so in the past and will probably do so again...

But to the "extraordinary" alternative...how do you define "extraordinary" to the population at large here? I think it would be hard.

My 2 1/2 cents...

I'd have to agree with this. what is extraordinary? the author of the hack is always going to think that it's extraordinary.

I think that both NexDog and Martin64 mean they would only BUY an extraordinary hack. :bunny:

Actually, that's what I meant, I think. I don't think I would buy any hack though, only donate money for one (but not donate to be able to get one, just for the pure support of it :))

I do believe though, that this hack community (vbulletin.org) should be kept free.

All I am saying is if people want to sell their hacks, noone can really blame them because of the hard work they have put into it. But if they want to sell their hacks, they shouldn't sell them at vbulletin.org, so I suppose my answer is "No".

Frankly, I aint mind to have some hackers to sell hacks, I have no gripe with it but not at here. Freddie stated that it is vb.org, not vb.com. If any hackers want to sell, do it at their site and PM some of us who is interesting in their works/hacks.

That s why Firefly never advertise anything about his hacks at here and he deserve my respect. As I said, I have NO gripe against selling hacks. Just do it thur PM or at their site. I like John's hack and plan to buy but unfortunately my sweetheart took my credit card for college shopping lately :-(
