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

point one: extra addons make vbulletin.
point one: by charging a fee for a listing system that is not guaranteed to make money for the coder the addon maker must take a financial gamble.
point one: without the free addons there wouldn't be a vb.org for the commercial addon listings to be put on (for a fee).
point one: there should be no fee.
point two: why not focus on the way free addons are added and sorted. The present system is horrible to browse, especially for newbs. Maybe then commercial hacks could sit with free hacks but with a big gold dollar to show its commercial maybe with a filter to hide commercial addons for certain users who find it acceptable to pay jelsoft for a forum code and not some individual with a unique idea to increase functionality a fraction of that amount for alot more hard work.

simply: hack releasers make vb.org what it is and vb so popular. There is no reason to charge coders for a listing...
