I don't like the idea of paid hacks on vb.org itself so this does seem a reasonable compromise. However, I don't understand why only licenced members will be able to view it (unless i've misunderstood) - surely you want potential buyers to see what is on offer ?


This section bothers me ;

All income earned will go to benefit this site, either for additional software needed over the long term or to support the staff.

What exactly does that last bit mean - that you are going to share the "profits" out to the vb.org staff ? If so then this completely removes my support for this proposal. Firstly, the same staff will be moderating the links, and so will have a persoanl gain bias to decisions, and secondly I do not believe that the staff (who are supposed to be volunteers) should be making personal profit from this site when the rest of us, who still release free hacks for all, get no benefit.
