my personaly opinion is that it would force prices of paid work to be standardised due to the officiality of it, their would be more transparency and that's a good thing, the only way to do something like this without it affecting the amount and type of free hacks available would be to have a quota system, if you've released XX amount of hacks + XX posts, you can advertise your services/hacks/programs here. and then have the commision thing as well. i love free hacks but also don't mind reasonably priced add-on's as that promotes indivuality, like filburt said in another thread (on vb.com infact) people tend to use stuff just cos it's there, look at the arcade, how many forums have them, just cos they're there, not that they fit with the site (i ad-lib'd that heavily) so yeah, for exclusivity it's good but it's all down to implementation really
