To be fair, those same add-ons were never made public for vB3 or vB4, and it didn't hurt the release rate.

Simple fact is, it's at least moderately difficult to create mods for vB5, by comparison, and so the mod market for it has never truly got going.

However, things are looking up - usage of vB5 is increasing, there's a rudimentary hook system back in place, and you have people like Glenn creating some interesting stuff, both free and paid, for vB5.

What would kickstart things a lot more would be if Cloud customers had access to install modifications - but I can't see how that could work.
