Threads Ignored?

I don't like this. Thats the next step to closing the code and selling all these add-ons as their product as add-on products rather than open free add on products. If they have to hire someone they have to charge something for this service they have to make that money back somehow. I do not think vBulletin will or should do this. I don't mind things the way they are now, if you have a hack that you really want or need coded and can't get it here, maybe try to inquire about it at rentacoder.com or something.

As far as threads and posts being ignored. It's a very valid point that A) this is not vbulletin's official support site B) Everyone on here is providing their service, knowledge, and time for free. C) the sheer number of non-coders out number those that are not coders therefore not all questions will get answered as quickly as desired, or necisarily at all.

Things can be done, and no system is going to be perfect, all you can do is strive for the best solution for the community. I enjoy coming to this site and getting hacks and picking up neat new things for my forum, and my own knowledge.
