I have no problems with having a directory of commercial add-ons.

I am interested in this issue because I use vB /add-ons to run a not for profit site which has restrictions on members using the site for self promotion.
We do not sell any products, don't have banners ads, and use of signatures is strictly limited to contributors of site content.

However, the demand for related resources from members and visitors alike necessitates that we need to set up a separate commercial section, and I'm swaying towards the this opinion.

I would go for using a separate domain but this may mean having to have a separate user registration/access vs the current vB usergroup permissions db.

Main concerns are ...
- not losing the integrity of our NFP site.
- using the commercial directory to direct support questions to - NOT to cause more support issues.
- possibly using the commercial add-on to generate revenue towards supporting costs of running a not for profit free service site
