Just because something works, does not mean it works well. Is it portable? Does it still work when you upgrade (vBulletin, php, mysql, etc.) Does it scale to hundreds of users? thousands? millions?

Consider this - programming literally takes years to get good at. Some people spend decades doing it. Programming is one of the rare professions where if you are good at it, you can do things much faster than those who aren't. Sometimes it's 2-3x faster, sometimes it's 20-30x faster. Sometimes it is 1000x faster.

You may pay someone $10/hr for a month, when it might take me 2 hours at my ridiculously high rate (not really). Would you pay my rate up front? Probably not. It probably will be cheaper though, not even taking into account maintenance, bugs, etc.

There is so much that you do not understand unless you are a programmer, or work with programmers often. You're going in blind.

I guess arrogance is bliss.

Dude momatter who does the work.. its gonna have problems.. but thats not the intall problem.. its the mod problem
