Chris, Geek, MPDev: I, uh, can handle the domain... I'll pony up the various "vbProfessional.xxx" domains for the project. If this takes off I'll be more than happy to transfer the domains to the organizing body. Between us we all have a bunch of server resources so it's just a matter of drawing straws to see who wants to host it. I can volunteer time & resources as well. As long as the project remains neutral I think it'll succeed.

I only have to protest about him quoting my post and using geek in a derogatory manner. After all, I'm on his side!

Next step: Maybe get together via IRC and bang about ideas.

I apologize. I meant "some of the geeks". I hope something good comes out of this thread.

Vbulletin should get rid of all this FREE hack non-sense which doesn't benefit the majority of vbulletin customers and frustrates them. WE NEED PAID HACKS! Free hacks are low quality. Free hacks are for phpbb and other low quality forums, not for gorgeous and powerful vb.

I bet if somebody opens a vbulletin paid hack site, this forum would die.

So far we already have the domain (www.vbulletinservices.com) and if anyone wants to buy the others and hand them over, it won't be turned down

I'm using my licence for it, and Zachery has provided us with some hosting, so we're raring to go

It'll take a day or two to get it fully setup but its going well already

Sweet! You sure know how to make a man cry! LOL! Hey, start with a "paid to post" plugin to get some boards MOVING!! New boards and some old boards need that. I need that too! Just imagine newbies frustrated with their new board not getting any members... This hack is HOT! Look at the boost www.webmastertalk.in got with their paid to post hack in a few weeks.

Hi, Chris. I'd be happy to offer whatever I can in the forum of support - financial or otherwise (I'd volunteer to help moderate/administrate such a site, as well).

Nice of you to off KW802, I think the domain vbprofessional.com has a nice ring to it.

I think this idea is going to encourage many folks that don't have the time or perhaps talent to try and make a quick buck off vBulletin customers.

If you can't get a paid biz going from your exposure to the community helping, teaching and releasing code to prove yourself, you probably are not ready to be a professional. Having a site you can just join, and almost seem endorsed by, will not make the releasers coders and/or supporters. In fact trying to maintain that level of quality in such a site would be impossible at best IMO.

This place aint going nowhere, it's here to stay you can be sure.

Do not be afraid, offering professional services is not the end of the world - it's simply opening up a new one that vBulletin customers can use to their advantage.

I think the opposite - I think that capitolism will determine the ultimate success or failure of individual works. If someone puts up a mod that isn't worth what is being asked for, then people won't buy it.

The marketplace (i.e. you, the customer) determine weather a product is worth it's price - not the publisher.

I have vbulletincoders.com, but Chris you would have to get permission to use it from vbulletin.
