Yes. It should. Many customers want a one-stop location for all modifications to the software and most of them would rather pay then have to learn PHP programming. Going along with that it should have resources to find designers, programmers, webmasters, and forum administrators for hire. And not just an ineffectual and vestigial "Services Requested" forum....

At no time would this site be involved in distributing commercial add-ons or would support be provided on this site, at least not without substantial fees involved.

Maybe I'm just not understanding exactly what you're saying, but I'm one of the people that would love a 'one-stop location'. However after you say this you then qualify it by saying this location wouldn't distribute hacks or provide support?? That hardly seems like a 'one-stop' deal to me. I hate having to click through one site to another to another.

No one would be making money off this site without an investment into the site. It is that simple. Any commercial listing would have costs associated with it. There may be ways to mitigate paying actual money but it would require concrete and repeated contributions to the free community.

I think those are great solutions to appease both 'camps'. If it ever happens I'm hoping its not just lip service and that the vb team has the time and desire to ensure something like this would be a successful venture for everyone involved.
