Hello all,

Reading the newsletter that vBulletin sent out yesterday informing the release of 4.2.2, came across the paragraph:

This release also includes a marketplace plug-in from Panjo. If your community operates a classifieds section, Panjo is a convenient way to improve how your users buy and sell items on your site. You can optionally use Panjo to generate revenue for your site. The plug-in is included in 4.2.2, and we'll be adding it to vBulletin 5 Connect in the near future. You can get more information at panjo.com.

At once came in my mind the post: Are you a Fortune Teller? by Christos Teriakis. If you read it you'll see that in the 2nd paragraph he wrote:

vBulletin will partnership with software companies to sell on its own popular addons. Just like with Skimlinks and Forum Runner now, you'll see Classifieds, Reviews, Galleries etc, to be officially intergraded with vBulletin. That's why don't expect to find any competition to them from single coders/designers. Thus, you like it or not, you'll have to buy them in any price they ask for. And you know very well what happens if there are no competitors.

So now you know........ And he wrote it 7 months ago !!
