vb.org Archive - View Single Post - New Official vBulletin Add-on Products

Nobody is going to stop Zoints from continuing their product. Competition is good. Most likely Zoints will remain free or certainly cheaper than a vb official solution. I suspect mods will be released that will bridge the vb system and zoints, making both stronger.

We've seen this model before. ibPro has an official gallery mod that is rather expensive, and has far from dominated their market. There are a number of gallery systems for ibPro that are putting up a considerable fight.

One effect a commercial add-on does have on a product, if history is to be repeated - is it harms the free mod community. In other words - it is often seen as a sign that commercial mods are now accepted and expected.
