Excuse me for being offended that I for one can't afford your $$ hacks. It took 12 months for me to afford vBulletin... so what makes you "coders for dollars" think that people like me are made of money? Just because you can afford it doesn"t mean you should have a holier-than-thou attitude towards those who cannot. You have no right to judge me and for the sake of arguement I used a free forum to begin with - that is until I could afford to purchase vbulletin.

I will agree to that.

And one last thing...

Last year, I made $2,800 before taxes (yes - less than $3k) for the entire year.
This year, I'm lucky to have made (before taxes) $8,300 with one month left. I live on food stamps and work my butt off at $7.50/hour to put food and clothing on my family of 4. My two children (one just born less than 2 months ago) are on WIC. I am not rich, nor am I well off, as some people might assume.

I saved up for what I have now. With the help of some friends, I'd say we're doing pretty good.

That's all I have to say. Just think about that the next time you assume that because we paid for vbulletin, we can afford to pay for hacks as well.

'nuff said
