Why still no marketplace?

Maybe vbulletin solutions could open another domain where all these paid apps can be bought under one umbrella. How about vbulletin.net ?

that's not true

I would say that almost every staff member here would like to see some form of marketplace.

(note: I'm just assuming from past communications; do not assume that I'm speaking on behalf of any person or group)

An appstore-like system has been mentioned before with no success. I'm not sure if transfer of money would ever be involved - as this would require lawyers, new policies, new management, etc. IB hasn't said anything to us regarding what direction they want us to take.

Personally, I would love to see an appstore-like system where everyone can benefit. ie. IB, customers, designers, and developers.

vborg has been in limbo since IB took over; we are simply waiting .... waiting ... waiting...
