VBPicGallery is freaken awesome for the record and I sure didnt mind supporting it on two of my sites since it takes off from vbgarage 4.10. Furthermore I hate having to register onto a forum to see a preview, how about attaching a screenshot so we dont ahve to register?.
Also if you do recreate this module from the original version, I do hope you get consent from the original coders and give them rightful credit as you should prior to releasing it. Noppid did alot of changing to the original and as well allowed for the photos to be stored in file as well as in the database so that is nothing new if you aquired his commercial version a.k.a vbpicgallery.
VBpicGallery also allows for watermark uploads and some of the stuff you have written here.
No offense but most of this stuff reminds me of his current version and you being new here makes me wondering if you are actually modifying his version and passing it as your own.
Yes I do agree vbgarage was always a freebie but if he decided to create vbpicgallery and charge a fee for it what harm would that be? Some coders here do the same thing except they release a freebie version and charge for retail / pro version like vbmary's great stuff. I say if some one really wants the software bad enough, they wont mind paying some moolah for it for the coders hard work. It beats using the older stuff with less features.
Just my 2 cents its worth the price he is asking for, I can see it growing in the future to be something to rival photopost.
