as James may be in a April fools journey, i will wait for the pro-official echoes...

but if this is right, Jelsoft is now part of a bigger company, with guys who are paid more seriously and that means we are now all Volunteered within a mega-corporation...

i don't remember if Microsoft have volunteered persons in its charge, or if people are working for free in the Hilton hotels, but i think we will now have to face the facts... Jelsoft is not the place we were all welcome anymore...

i give support for free, i even coded for free for a long time... this have to end with this announcement.

vBulletin.org is not only a place for coders to share code, 25%+ of the actual system is based on our own work provided for free and taken without our consent to build this tool that was sold to a company with a lot of resources...

we all deserve to be paid for the result. and we will not be paid. being paid is not only important for the cash, it is important for the situation... if us coders would not have provided these hacks for years, who would tell if Jelsoft would've been sold in this situation... we're the ones who make the vBulletin software look better for each version... we're also are the guys who support this software because at vB.com they are not supporting it when it is modified... and i can tell it is rare to see unmodified forums these days...

anyway... James, this is not a joke to make if you are on an April Fools journey... and if this is the real facts, sorry but i quit... for good... that's enough being frustrated by the "way" we are not supported by Jelsoft, now we have to be unsupported by a bigger company that will never pay us a penny even if we're the ones to make it rich...

think of it coders, they are now able to pay the guys who support their software... if you do not receive a cent of what they will gain from your work, do the same... quit !!!... you can work by yourself on your own side... vb.org will now be a place for volunteers who have too much time to spend and are not interested to be paid... never!

Last time i checked we (the users of vBulletin.org) were all here (vBulletin.org) to have fun and share our work with others to bring a smile to their face. This has never changed since day one, some peoples views of how the site works has.
