By "deals in" do you mean a customer who is looking to make a purchase?

This is the issue which I am talking about - you want no part of it, but as a the purchaser of another vB license, I am looking for a mod which will enable me to convert a site from one forum to another. I know there is one alternative, but because its a "paid mod", its not allowed here and therefore I cannot find it.

By limiting my selection to only "free" mods you are not providing me with all options that would otherwise be avaialble to me.

for example if u had the opportunity in a place to release a free or paid mod
what would u post
especially since this place could become the center of trade for paid modifications

Again, you are discounting the power of a free market. Just because a mod is for sale doesn't mean you have to buy it.

i think the very fact that this conversation topic is up means that you don't want to give your hacks for free
thats fine but take it elsewhere

Again, you aren't reading what I am writing. I am looking to buy a mod, not sell one. I give away my mods because they help our customers, which indirectly benefits me. I have no such mod for vB that I would ever consider charging for - does that clarify my reasons for this thread at all?
