That would force me to shell out a whopping (60 plugin x $30 (at least)) ==> US$1800 per annum, which literally means that poor webmasters like myself, wont never be able to enjoy most of the coolest products anymore...

I think, i would ideally stick with vB.org's present policy of only encouraging FREE community of hackers. Coders with paid PRO versions can always advertise their products in their signatures as presently being done by many. I see no problem with that.

phpBB is free, why ain't ya using it?
ontop of that, its got thousands and thousands of mods and addons that are also free, why ain't ya using that them too?

Did magicly we relize somewhere along the way that sometimes paid is better, and comes with better things?

Free addons will never stop, but neither will paid ones, we (the staff of .org) might as well take advantage of the situtation by allowing coders who want to "advertise" their sites on .org. If its styles / hacks / etc, even if its just a site listing.
