my logic is flawed? maybe in your eyes, but im looking @ it from the little guys side.
and if i remember when i talked to shabang from overgrow cuz he was coding on my site also since we have simular sites, he mentioned that vb was gunna use his code for the karma addon and he did get a nice spot in the "vBulletin Developers & Contributors" part of the admincp. i dont think he mentioned getting funds for doing that addon though. and if he didnt doesnt really matter much. if one of the vb dev's sat down and wrote the code for the forum themselves, then the idea of shabangs karma hacks was there then. his data, code, and information he put time into was there. it might have been free, but it was there. so whose to say that maybe if geek wanted his addon on here for testing, and he decided to not charge anyone for it and just leaqve it here, you guys wouldnt implement it into future versions of vb? using the cart capabilities since there isnt any cart for vbulletin that comes preinstalled, and i would think this kind of addon would be a huge addon for the forum because it adds a whole new world to the software that we are all already wound up in enjoying.
his addon shouldve remained on here for a beta period, and then he shouldve been contacted about it being commercial or paid for or however we wanna word it, and then he couldve decided if he wanted to release maybe a version with less options on the cart? or have it linked to his site like some modifiers do here and then offer support on their personal forums, like vBa does.
this conversation should continue, your right. the vb.com staff should def hear our opinions on this matter.
