I see several people in this thread who are "for" opening up the private coders forum. When the official results from the official "thread I cannot mention without my post being deleted" are tallied, please be sure to tabulate in the results from THIS thread, as well, from those who were not able to participate in the vote.
Are you going to bat for "coders" for some reason? Do you have a dog in this hunt?
Yes, to me the coders are the lifeblood of this site. If they want a private forum for talking then they should have one. Its a very small thing for the contributions they give.

I see several people who aren't. We agree to disagree on the issue.
The value of the License Jelsoft sells us is directly related to the access of this forum. Is is unfair to segregate paying customers in any way shape or form other then to keep staff forums private.
Until you pay more then others for a license, which we all need to pay for to play with code here, then you are entitled to no more then the guy that just got his license today.
This is becoming a business issue and that is not what Jelsoft needs. This needs to be fixed immediaty.
Your access to this forum and vBulletin.com's forum is a privilege, not a right.

True in one sense, but in another sense when you pay for a vB license you also pay for some form of support and part of it is in the form of forums, at least at vB.com.

Support is still done via the ticket system. If someone gets to the point where they are banned here or at vB.com (and that does happen from time to time) they will always be able to get free support via the members area.
Using these public forums are a privilege, and if you abuse that privilege it can be taken away from you. That does not happen very often because we are all customers and Jelsoft does not want us leaving over an issue on the forum, but it does happen sometimes.
People need to keep that in mind. Your $160 + $30 a year does not buy the right to make trouble here. Not that anyone in this thread is doing that, but I wanted to point this out to everyone.

Ya know what., I hope you all enjoy your private forum, but remember, it's just a few that don't want to help the open community anyway. We don't need them or their attitudes anyway.
Please do go private and stay there. I'll be with the regular people.
who left? I soured on Jelsoft reps, employees, whatever ages ago and havent been by until 3.6 came out. Have to bite the bullet and see if theres some changes I needed to make for the couple of hacks I have installed.

That's a great idea. I'll buy you a beer if I see ya out there. Thanks for the tip.

Why does it matter so much? Trust me -- there's nothing exciting in the Coders Discussion forum. It's just some of the coders here on the site exchanging tips and getting their questions answered. Would you like pictures?
