Well there's gonna be more nonsense now as non-tech vB'ers like me discover the ease of installing plugins, which doesn't = bug-free/trouble-free plugins, which = more support requests from newcomer bonefide newbies.

This shouldn't be a problem if others using the free plugins who have some knowledge chip in with newbie support issues ...

Overall it's vb who should also be benefiting from contributions to vB.org, and if this is reflected in their sales, perhaps they could donate extra funds towards staff support etc.

It is in vB.coms best interest to make vB.org the best it can be ...

I personally think vB has been slow to introduce new user noticeable features in the 4 years I've had their software though will accept this for other efforts to build a rock solid platform.
But if the vB.org had not been here, I most certainly would have been looking for greener pastures.
