*blinks* that was a lot of reading, and why include vbcommerce in the post, its free when its released, sures it's encrypted but still free for 1 shop, *cringes* but the core is free, and its not a lite script, all our core mods are free and 1000's of hours building them so end users here and on our site can benifit and I think between dark and I we've done a hella job supporting both on this site and other.
Our general argument as far as pro addons go is if others can make money from our work we should earn a little bit. I think thats fair. People can earn a hell of a lot form our free mods as well which makes up 90% of our work. go figour..
Sure we have a few pro addons but they are nothing to compared to the level of quality of our free mods and fully supported no contracts there.
As developers for example, dark and I both gotta eat, most of our pro mods don't even support our pop and chip habbit to crank out top quality free mods for vbulletin.
Like anyone here I like and use free mods, but we understand the amount of work that goes into coding this and for that reason if there is a pro mod for vbulletin that I like I'll buy it and not question its cost.
I've bought ever month that The Geek as made simply cause his work is awesome, and the products are solid. I have no problems paying for mods, and appeciate the developers that make both free and commercial products. It all takes time and is hard work.
