We have to balance philantrophic issues such as supporting this site and making it available at no cost with other real world issues such as those listed above.

This is not about being greedy. It is how the real world works and not everything in life is free. I am sorry that some people continue to refuse to see this but that is the way it is. Either use the channels provided here for free and respect the add-on authors wishes or expect to pay money for what you want. This is the same economy that has been in effect on this planet for the last 10,000 years and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

I see expecting everything on the Internet to be free and for others to slave to your satisfaction as the ultimate expression of greed.

By the way, anyone who approaches me outside of normal vBulletin support channels (support system, vBulletin.com forums, and telephone support) usually gets the same PM from me. I don't need work to intrude on my other interests in life and my family 24 hours a day. As far as having vBulletin staff here, this site is owned and operated by Jelsoft as a community venture. It is maintained by volunteers but all the bills are paid by your license fees.
I love it how these peeps try to lecture to you about "real life woes and problems."

You know nothing about me, mate, and I do not need your descriptions.

Save your lectures for the annointed. Oh and to be sure that I would never approach you outside normal vbulletin support channels. Maybe my lawyer if he is available, but not me.

Now where did the guy with the Vodka go...I brought my shot glass along!
Right here, mate. Bottoms up.
