You get what you pay for, besides in my opinion a person will never be able to run a successful website if they must always rely on others to do their coding for them!

I'd have to disagree, I have designed over 50 dfiferent high quality vbulletin forums and installed hacks on at least 200 different sites since VB3 came out, some people come here just for that, I know I do. People just have to use common sense and search the users name BEFORE paying anyone.

With that said, some people just aren't computer litterate, if the service request forum was gone, alot of boards wouldn't get modified. Alot of those professional services charge 500-1000 for work, I don't even charge a fraction of that for my designs. Theirfore, if people couldn't mod their boards and couldn't afford to higher a professional, I personally think it would result in less vbulletin sales to be honest.

I say you just install the trader ratings, that should fix it
