A Honest to Good Aggravated Criticism of Paid Modifications for vBulletin (Essay)

[cheat-master30]

Okay, that was a really badly phrased piece of wording. I did not mean there's no alternative to vBulletin and Invision the forum software, although I guess my wording was way off. I meant for many of the paid mods, there's no free alternative. I know vBulletin and Invision have free alternatives (which could be listed over 16 pages of lists), but things like vB SEO, or paid products like those from vB Advanced, or RPG systems (which indeed don't even have a paid alternative as Inferno Technologies vanished off the face of the planet) and any form of shop type system (vB Commerce is either encrypted or paid, vB Plaza went fully paid and most of the alternatives either died with vBulletin 3 or 3.5).

Then again, why the hell did this get revived?
