it's not a petty thing... i'm even against that rule myself, but the vBulletin owners are against advertising for paid products...

even if your integration is free, you advertise for something we need to pay for... that's what my comment was refering to... if you don't like comments like this, just don't post, because here we want to keep this rule respected, that's all.

and my comment about the BETA thing is that when you create a thread about a new release, the rule is to provide that code with the thread, not ask for comments... you have the "General Modification Discussion" Forum for that purpose...

... the more we have rules to follow, the more complicated is the life on a community... but once you folow these rules, you see that everything have a place and everything is clear when it's done right!
