vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Proposal: The vBulletin.org Commercial Services and Addons Directory.

I like the directory idea. Probably the best solution.
One thing I don't like about the proposal is paying for a link. While this will more than likely entice me to release mods I wouldn't release for free because of the time it would take to support them for free I wouldn't pay to have a link to them. I don't think Jelsoft should profit from the mod authors work.
If you do go to a pay system to list mods then I have a couple questions.
How long will the link be for? Life of the mod? Until the author stops supporting it?
What will be the criteria for which link is listed first if there are 2 or more similiar mods?

I don't think adding another site into the mix is a good idea. We all know how it turned out with vbulletintemplates.com.
