Confused with mod makers?

[merk_aus]

like i said the first reply in this thread answered the question -

I now understand alot better of the way things work i just thought if a coder saw something that had for example 100 replies all wanting the same thing in someones head they would here the cash register 'cha ching' and will make it and release as a paid add on or something.

I do understand that coders dont have all the spare time in the world, hell neither do us 'little' guys who are setting up forums, being a web designer i do know i hardly have spare time that i can just give out - so i have nothing against paying someone to help, if i get a free mod on here that has some huge impact on my site i try to make handy donations to the coder, and the ones that do not add much i try to donate at least something if i can - although honestly it sometimes slips my mind when i download something just to check it out.

thanks for your replies as i said i just thought the coders could be making even more money than they do at the current moment by forfilling some of the most sought after hacks i know i would give my backing both ideas/suggestion and support wise along with financially if people wanted to enter together to make some paid addons that are highly sort after haha yes the cha ching is ringing in my head.
