Popular mods are also the worst to support.

Vbookie in particular is a hard mod to do, not everyone could code it, or have the vbulletin knowledge to do it.

Anyway, thats how I understand things are, I could be wrong.

ps: also vbookie is so tied to vbulletin system, that any minor changes makes it need to be recoded, which is also a factor when a coder choose projects (or it should at least)

See what happens when you skim a topic instead of reading, as explained numerous times (and now i see why people get responses like Nexia's cause its annoying saying the same things over and over) - I did not ask a coder to do work for free, only pointing out the potential cash cow if the right topic was read and mod made, secondly vBookie was used as an example - it is not a code i want redesigned, or anything, infact i am currently in the process of phasing vbookie out of my forums as with the total rewrite of vb4 this would not work - so as said vbookie was not a script i was after and mentioned many times it was an example, i did not ask a coder to code something for free.
