[JJR512]

I think the main reason why there are getting to be fewer and fewer new hacks for vBulletin is that vBulletin already has so many features to begin with, and most of the big ideas for improving it have already been addressed as hacks. There just aren't that many new, original ideas anymore that would be of interest to many people. I think that many of the newer hacks are only of interest to just a few people.

TurboFC3S, I considered trying to make these hacks, but decided not to for a few reasons. The big reason is that I'm not sure I could do them. My skills aren't up to the level where I could just crank something big out in a few days. It would take me at least a week, maybe two or more, of working on it a lot, going through a lot of trial and error, etc. And during this time of me focusing on your hack, how do I know that someone else isn't also doing it? There's no way for me to know that after working on this long and hard, someone else won't release the same thing the day before I do, and get paid and me get nothing. And the payment is another thing; it would be nice to know up front what kind of $$ you have in mind.

I guess what I'm saying is that I might be open to discussing some type of contract-like deal, where we would agree that I would work on this for you for $xx and would have results within a certain time frame, and that if someone else published their own solution before that time frame was up, you would wait to see if I came up with anything before paying that other person, giving preference to me.
