What if the original author never releases it again or the company that bought it never does anything with it then this awesome mod is just lost to bureaucracy? That really sucks when a mod is free at one point then it get's monetized the other or never heard from again because someone wants to be selfish. I don't mind paying for it but at least make it available, I wouldn't mind paying $100+ for live topic for vb4. It's the whole issue about having to move to vb4 from vb3, if you don't have all the same mods you really can't make the switch and not expect members to leave or expect more than you offer just because it looks prettier than vb3 or at least have the dev specify that that mod will NOT be supported in other version of vb. Don't get me wrong I fully appreciated the devs work, I am actually starting to dev myself, just saying if your gonna do something do it right and follow through and not half way. Just my 2 cents, sorry to vent, just this has happen to me before when I made the switch to vb4, I understand it can be very frustrating.
