In principle I'm in favor of promoting hack contributors, but I will vote undecided because ...

1) This poll is too basic.
What is needed first is a survey:
- Opinions and suggestions provided in the feedback thread should be compiled into a list of possible avenues for self promotion, from signature use and onwards.
- Each survey entry should provide multiple choices: Yes/No/Undecided. (Maybe)
- Multiple survey options need to be selectable, because the solution may be a combination of scenarios.

After the survey has been hashed out and then evaluated, if so desired a Yes/No/Undecided Poll could be conducted for a final consensus.

2) I would first like to see what vB.com is up to regarding plugins / free and/or paid.
I am hoping that when vB.com's first plugin comes out that they will explain how and what directions the company will be using plugins for.
I am also hoping that they will offer further means of supporting vB.org and the coding community who have freely contributed to the extended use of this product.

At this time, this discussion is imperative, because sooner probably rather then later vB.com/vB.org will be be bringing out the stone chisels ... er making announcements that will make it clearer as to their own intentions and use of plugins, and policy toward support of other plugin providers free or paid.
