I think its hilarious that you guys say "It isn't worth my time to spend 4 hours of my time for 40$" when you spend countless hours supporting hacks, creating hacks and then uploading them here for free. Yet when someone asks you and offers to give you something for your time, your time automatically becomes much more valuable.
As the previous poster said, most requests have been created already if you search hard enough, here or at any other modifications forum, and if it hasn't - wait 6 months, someone will end up doing it anyway.
I understand charging a premium rate for something that would take days and much research to do, but you know as well as I do many of these requests can be completed with nominal work once you sit down to actually do them.
What is hilarious is that you actually think you know how we manage our time.
When you custom code, you are married. Why would I work for 40$ a full day only to have someone say i didn't do enough despite that? Which is usually the case. I'd pay 40$ not to have that aggrevation because no one ever asks what they want at face value. Once you start, they start with the, "oh one more thing" and if you refuse, they come and trash you.
