There are people who wish to code their own plugins, rather than release them for the public. There are people who wish to learn the vBulletin source code, for their own reasons, not with releasing plugins as a goal. There are programmers who wish to speak to other programmers about vBulletin development, without releasing a plugin as a goal. There are people who wish to have design/coding discussions, who don't use any of the plugins here. There are people who could provide valuable insight into coding, PHP, MySQL, xhtml, css, graphic design... who don't want to release plugins. If vbulletin.org is to grow, it has to stop being one-dimensional.
