That was kind of a fluke. I think the last time this happened was in March or April.

The point about competition from open source is a good one, as this is one area where open source may well produce an excellent contender. One of the tricks of competing against open source is to capture as much of the flavor of it as possible without giving away the store. So, I think the idea of having a download area for hacks/improvements from the members only area or perhaps a licensees' only forum for such exchanges is a very good one.

I would tend to agree. However I think the way it is now is a good system too. It allows it be out in the open without compromising vBulletin's source.
