The fact that this breeds the attitude you are entitled to anything is proof the whole concept is flawed.

Either release free code on the .org as such and move on or sell your wares and reap the profits if your code holds it's water.

The attitude, that if I work hard doing free stuff I'm entitled to something, breeds contempt. I don't find it acceptable at all.

Your posts may mean well, but they are in fact painting you into an elitest light. They are also encouraging crap work to be rushed to publish for the sake of this so called privledge and that serves the community in no way shape or form.

Stop asserting your burden or stop releasing free code like I did. Trust me, if we start analysing this so called elitist code, things will be painted in a different light.

This goes against the grain of the entire concept of .org. But it's not the first or only instance of such actions. My contributions have suffered and will contiue to be elsewhere while this club, formally know as vbulletin.org, get's it act together.

It's amazing how people forget where they came from and then suddenly advise people to leave and shut the door behind them cause they've moved on to being smarter and can't be bothered anymore.

Long live the little people, just not here.
