Meantime, your forum paralized. Example: ucash, ushop and many others.

$$ doesn't make a hacker/hack better. If someone sucks at support they'll suck whether people pay them or not. There's plenty of companies out there right now to prove this. Just because someone gets paid doesn't mean they'll be good at customer service or supporting their product. The problems with trying to get owners to service their products will continue whether its free or not. Hopefully the good/reputable coders can get a site together and manage it well as to avoid these problems, but without moderation I just see most coders trying to put out as much as they can, as fast as they can. Its the whole idea of getting the most $$ while doing as little as you can (time investment with support/bug fixes).

Anyways, my suggestions for you coding gurus (if you do end up working together on a site) is to moderate heavily and set quality and support standards.
