Why should Jelsoft make money off the service? Seems really tight to me. Arent ypu benefitting by more customers being attracted because of the better professional options and higher quality content availible? Heck... these guys writing the macks are customers writing code that sells to other customers. 99% of the time for under $30usd. I wouldnt call that enough to make a living off of. However... its your party

As far as it hurting the community... how could it? If all macks cost a little, there would be even more incentive to produce great FOC ones.

IMO, not having a directory and not supporting professional developers (who generally write your better code) hurts the community far more than not. I would kill for a listing of professional sites selling vb add ons... I am sure there would be several I would buy.

Just me humble opinion. Now Im off to nJoy a cold beer by the pool. Muwhahahahaha.

I totally agree! :up:

IMHO, I think charging for advertisement is the wrong direction.
The more "professional" addons/styles available the more sales for vbulletin.

A 'vb professionals' directory would certainly help the community.
How many times have you seen "What are the best vbulletin design sites out there?", "Where did you purchase your design?", etc.

Free addons will never stop ... it's a good business practice.
