hey TLS, i suppose you make a living of something else ?!... some coders don't... that's why they focus on salary... Jelsoft focus on profits too, or they would be closed... check out: installation of a vBulletin forum: 150$... it's mostly the same cost as the license itself... and they did not code a thing, just clicked 13 times before the install is done...
so imagine someone coding a 20 000 lines hack... which is different from a template modification or a new permission...
$150 :erm:
Well....
Hmmm....
:erm:
I thinks' we need to help each other more and quit spending time trying coding for a living and actually do it or get a job. Did you check the thread for payed request... there was a 40 hr a week listing in their w/ benefits but your complaining about doing it for a living? A real job (full time coder, construction worker, accountant, or cashier etc.) pays the bills and then in your spare time you help others, if they request something more than you typically offer, charge them otherwise they should simply take the time to figure it out themselves. I have not read all the replies in this thread because it will continue to become more of everyone trying to force agreement to their point of view. Open your perspective and let's just deal with what we have and be happy else it's the same old song and dance...
Buy it or don't else learn, all I know is there's way to many people on here beating dead mules
