I still dont understand why they should pay. Surely it is for the benefit of the users that
a) Costs are kept down for these commercial hacks by limiting there outgoing costs
b) The user can quickly and easily find a hack he maybe interested in.
Vbulletin addons was never going to continue as it did, it was like Geek said a Part time job which although gives a good feeling doesnt pay the bills. In most these hacks are not expensive, to pay for a whole article system i think Geeks prices are fair. To pay for a whole RPG system i think Zero's price is fair. These guys are continueing to help the community yet for the support needed and updates for the product it is simply too difficult not to ask for a small fee. In response to the "free advertising" thats not the way i see it. Vbulletin.org is meant to be the number one source for vbulletin resources, like it or not payed hacks make a huge part of these resources now and therefore its time to adapt and move with the times
