I agree with this and would support it monetarily if .com wouldn't do it themselves. I think coders that have mods with 200+ installs should get some sort of reward for their efforts. Generally those tend to be the best and most supported modifications so they are helping vbulletin.com in the long run. I know if this site didn't exist and the coders didn't exist, I'd sell my vb license and switch back to phpbb in a heartbeat. Coders efforts rarely get much but a HOTM badge at the most and visibility in the vb community. 30% off license renewal? Chump change IMO. .com should consider themselves lucky if thats the only reward they would ever have to give the people that put in lots of effort to making THEIR product better.
