I agree. Time management is not the equivalent of procrastination, although it seems to be the case on this website (sorry if that's too critical for some to handle).
Smacklan also made a good point with the website being 3.6. Being that 3.6 has been out for quite some time, what's the reason for this version on vb.org not being extra slick? You can either keep waiting for a new release, or we can make things happen. Pushing things off to the side is a setup for a bigger problem in the long run, i can't stress this enough.
Lets face it, this site is filled with professional vbulletin developers. Why can't the people who run it act like so? It's a big ball of frustration. And as frustrating as it is for you guys to handle our criticism, it's twice as frustrating for us to have to give it every day.
Would it not be much more easier and pleasurable for us to comfortably and effectively manage our contributions in such an atmosphere that makes this possible rather than have to point out the obvious every day?
Also, if you want to start talking in terms of "who pays" and "not getting paid" and you feel the need to place emphasis on the fact that contributions made here are free, then i believe "The official vbulletin modifications site" is misleading. Especially since the most official modifications (although there are some great mods here for free) are paid. How about "free vb mods" instead? And lets not even talk in terms of the mod themselves, but rather our status as members here. Yes, we did pay.. We paid for a product which requires us having purchased it in order to fully participate on these forums.
I would love to see a member of the jelsoft staff itself come here and see they are genuinely pleased with the direction this website is going in.
