Hi, I remember in 08 and 09 when I use to create a thread requesting something whether paid or unpaid, usually paid. Many quality coders come to help and usually this depends on how long they have been on the forum, mods they have created for the community, and good communication.
Now I barely see any good coder pming me to fulfill my request :l and many of the request threads in general are left open for weeks until they are abandoned by the op. All the good old coders that i had good contact with left vb.org since 2011. I really think vb 4.x was a let down that made many of the good coders leave vb.org but this change happened after the release of vb 4.x
