exactly my toughts... the only solution is to have a real commercial directory where people are invited to announce on, and where they can contribute with their own work... this is not possible right now, and will not if Jelsoft is not pushing the block... - as they will not, you can visit my site for that kind of stuff.. lol (ok, i can't advertise! lol)

there is a lot of code-hosts, like hotscripts etc, but most of them do not permit addons or plugins etc... (hotscripts is the biggest but do not permit to advertise products or addons for vB anymore)

the only thing would be to invest time, effort and money to have a real directory of resources, not places where codes are listed and released... a real directory... for serious advertisers... guys who want to do it the commercial way. (oh gosh, i try it!)
