I'll admit to having paid a coder to take an abandoned script and update it to work with the vB version I use. If the mod author leaves and does not respond to emails, I'll get a coder to update the mod and they leave the appropriate credits in the script. If the mod author would complain, I'll offer to pay US$100 or so. That has never happened, but I'm not wanting to avoid paying. The *function* of the script is important to me.
