Good points FlyBoy, I'll add my "me too."

Ok, so that is what it is worth to me , and you are right, it would probably be more financially sound to sell more quantity at a lower cost than few at a higher one.

There could always be additional modules for sale covering blogging, galleries, and more? Dunno, but it sounds like David and the rest of the team are now at least considering this. I don't think it is a threat at all to their original business model, which I am very confident will be successful on a large scale once fully implemented. I do think however with this option they will cover just about everyone else that wouldn't use the primary system.

People have hyped & love the big hacks/mods such as vBArcade, vBSEO, vBAdvanced, and many other paid and free hacks.. Well, I think (and with all due respect to those coders) something like this would eclipse them in usage in a very big way. The previous "vbSpace" thread that is now MIA clearly proved that, and at the speed this one is growing, I think it is clear how badly people want a serious social networking addition to their communities.. I have done polls in my largest community and they are hot for it along with blogs and the rest of the features.. I've lost out to myspace for too long and so has everyone else with a community.

One way or another, I am pretty sure we will have both options in the very near future.. I know where the central one is coming from and it is sweet... Not sure yet on the stand-alone, but I hope it will be similar and I know of at least two different people (or groups) that have now jumped into gear on bring that to life.


Great news!
Thanks
