meh i think paid hacks should be allowed on vb.org. people say that gratitude isn't down to £££ and to a certain extent you're right, however £££ goes a long way in providing this. people say that the coding is the easy part and to a certain extent they're right, i must say that i have atleast one hack where i'd be willing to release it for free but the support would take too much outta me, not to mention that for all the support i've given privately with the hack i don't recall anyone asking for my paypal details. coding and support is time consuming and while it's great to have it for free more gratitude should be shown, i.e. if it has an efficacious effect on your site you should take the inititive to contact the author asking for their paypal address and show them a little gratitude like that. i remember not long ago their was a coder here that was releasing mods regularly, his license ran out and that was the end to him, when he got back he released some more work and people installed it but weren't quite willing to think how he managed to get back. people need to realise that for the coders especially it costs to be here, theirs alot more giving than taking and absolutely no reason why people show their gratitude with £££.

but alas paid mods are not about to be allowed here. so my next suggest would be a directory, in which you're allowed to put 5 mods in a box via the cp that are for sale and if a user should want them they can contact the authors, it's alot like a signature directory. even as an end user i must say that knowing what's out there and available to enhance my community would really assist me, i'm trying to take over the world, a few mods along the way really wouldn't hinder me, even if they cost me.

PS. at this moment i think only extensions should cost, maybe, not quite sure yet, but i'm leaning over to that a way.
