I agree with all of what freddie said. if people want to sell something, they should find other venues with which to market their product. vbulletin.org it a place for people to download open-source modifications to vbulletin, not to bid and market hacks that cost money.
And I have never been 'scared' to ask questions. Almost ALL of my questions have been answered on vb.org and vb.com, but i always do a search for the question & the answer, and usually will try my hardest to figure it out myself before I ask. Usually, after all of that, the question will obviously have some merit being answered as noone else has asked it!
I also believe that more careful moderation would be very helpful. Some of the people here are very snappy (to each other) and some moderation would really help.
And about the community, I usually spend most of my time socializing at vbulletin.com because the people in the chitchat forum are usually and generally more mature, and the moderation seems a bit stricter. So yes, I avoid the community here, I usually just stop by the general hacking discussion forum and the full releases once a day and that's it.
