Yes please, or else rebrand itself as the ultimate vb resource for free hacks.
I'd like a good level of quality control in said forum of course, with people trying to sell free hacks dealt with severly, also people who release the paid hacks for free (without significant change obviously) being dealt with severly. |

wow - thats a pretty black and white poll
 Of course Im all for an area of .org where we can view sites selling scripts. If you dont like it, you dont have to go there however wouldnt it come in handy? Regardless - I think most users arent too bothered either way. Guess we shall see

I say yes, it would be easier than going off site to one of a dozen or so sites just to find a good hack. Liek a directory here of something.
Charge a $1 or something for a small hack etc. Micropayments, that is 1/5 of a Mcd's extra value meal to me but could encourage a good coder more than a thank you ever could. Nothing says "I love you" like money....

Paid add-ons in what respect? Advertising and links to them, or hosting them here?
If the latter, I will be totally against it, as if a coder goes MIA (it has happened before so don't think it may never again) it will be down to the staff to fix security issues and bugs with it... And if the hack has a security flaw inherant in it and the coder isn't MIA, we'll have to get a fix sorted out and it's extra hassle we don't need - If you want to have paid add-ons hosted I won't support that... If you can clear that up for me before I decide to vote MPDev Chris |

Oh, that's lovely. You know damn well this doesn't give us a representative indication from which to decide what's best for everyone here. A straight numbers poll for a question like this?
On one side there's a group of very experienced, very active, and very HIGHLY motivated bunch of coders who all want to sell things here to make money. You think that group isn't going to work hard to convince people this is NOT about financial gain for themselves? Those are some of the most active participating people here so, of course, they're going to win a poll in terms of sheer numbers. The people here who are going to be affected the most by this decision are not long-time, experienced, active participants who post their thoughts and opinions on a regular basis. They don't influence what other people think all the time. And a significant percentage of those people are simply too intimidated by all this and by the other very vocal members here. They're not sure which side is really looking out for THEM and their interests ... they're not actively monitoring a debate like this. There's no way they're going to have the same voice in this, so how are they going to be represented fairly in a straight numbers poll? |
