In this case, webspace is the only thing the person has to offer, while not much, it is some form of reward, although not highly looked upon since hosting is a lot cheaper these days that it was 2-3 years ago.

My moto has always been "if you can afford vBulletin and hosting, then you can afford to pay for whatever else you need (such as design and other such items)".

Again, that is not to down anyone, but vBulletin is $85/$160, hosting in most cases runs at least $100/year; so I believe if you can afford that, you can afford a design in the range of $50-$150 at least.

Ok first of id just like to say that i never had any problems with giving away hosting, i have 500mb which is more than ill ever use. And i gots no real problems with paying for style sets ect ect, but like i said, i bought all this within a small period of time which has left my cash flow a little low lately. Honestly i wasnt expecting anything professional, just another style considering ive allready at least tried everyone available for download here.

Now having said that, im glad that iHCF offers his services for free, not only are his designs of a professional grade but i personally love his style. Ill be using two of his random designs by the end of tonight and like he has said, hell do a custom one for me. If he wanted hosting or advertising then id have no problems giving it to him, but its for free so hey i aint gonna refuse right.
