Hi Teck, much appreciate you beginning this discussion.
I think your answer is in the previous post

.......
I'm very happy to read what has been summed up in this thread and think this is a good day for vB.org.
The moderation rules are great. As a busy admin I just don't have time to get involved in off topic conversation in a thread not designated for this.
- very happy that staff will address their decisions in the way Marco has explained.
- very interested in the development of a paid directory as I will be needing to provide something similar to contributing members at our site and can learn much from how it will be implemented here.
.. and I appreciate that members like myself who have little to offer but ideas based on practical needs can be part of of the development of new mods for vB.
Finally, a suggestion:
Provide a page/link from our vB adminCP crediting all the wonderful people who have conceptualized the the free mods that are now becoming a standard feature in vB.
They much deserve this recognition, and this would make it easier for us to see what else they have up their sleeves.
Keep up the great work everybody!
Cheers,
Mark
