Official 3rd Party Mods Section on vb.org or vb.com

[daveaite]

Hello vBulletin,

This idea has been brought up before, but I'd like to make a sort of official thread and with the hope of the community to back me up on this. There are a lot of great premium third party mod and theme developers out there. Yet there is not one place for everyone who has vBulletin, to discover them. Your competitors such as xenforo and ipb both have large premium marketplaces, hosted on their sites for easier user discovery, and vBulletin is the leading forum software.

The free sections are great, but why not make it more advanced, one click to purchase..

Please offer a marketplace for developers to display and sell their mods. I think this is an immediate concern as this will bolster your 3rd party developer earnings and the number of 3rd party developers that are attracted. If you know from history, Apple has grown their strength not just from their software, but more importantly by the developers who build off it.

Anyone else think this is a good idea, please post below.
