So let me get this right, commercial hacks will be asked to pay for advertising space further increasing there price? This is supposidley the ultimate vbulletin source, I would expect to be able to find both paid and unpaid hack links..

Generally yes that would make sense, but I also see the stand point that if you have to pay to get the link then you will not pay the price for every random useless hack, but ones rather that are really worth the price you have to pay to sell it to others, sort of like a quality control. So personally id rather see it as a pay to display type area.

Not everyone will make that assumption with hacks. In fact, I'll go one step further and suggest that most users expect support to be given by the authors. People will have questions regardless of what the author states and it shouldn't stop other people from helping if they can. Now there is a (supported) checkbox for authors to click but it simply does not grab the attention of the users. Would it be practical for hacks to be separated into 2 categories: Supported and Non-Supported? A second suggestion is an agreement that must be clicked by the users before they have access to non-supported hacks. These are just two examples. |

Those that are strictly focused on developing and marketing paid products - and I have no problem with that - should pay a higher rate. We are nothing more than a target market to them. |

This is a community; we should be sharing, not just taking. I may be a little bit of a hypocrite, having released only two minor modifications here, but I will always take the time to help others. My advice to many of you who are slightly disappointed: Learn. I did. Many others here did. I was once a noobie asking for help with even the simplest things, but after a little practice I was able to learn to do things myself. Nearly two years later I am coding in all my spare time and still loving it. If you have the time, go for it, and I bet you won't regret it. You may even end up helping others here, continuing the cycle. To anyone who has helped me in the past: I thank you. |

As I see it, "free" modifications are very important as many, if not most, communities don't exactly turn a profit and some don't make any money at all. So their Admins don't have piles of cash to throw into development.
Having said that, if a person is going to charge for their hack, then I feel it is only reasonable that they should kick back some of that money into the ongoing costs of running vBorg. If I sell something on EBay they get a cut, why should vBorg be any different? |
