So prior to 9/11 the United States was more vulnerable to airplane hijacks/attacks because of the way votes were conducted/percentges voting? And since then there's been a change in the election system which has caused all that you attributed to it?

Why is it that Jelsoft should be the only people allowed to make money on this?

Well this is their site, why should anyone but them be allowed to make money here? (yes I agree that the coders here help vb.com earn more money so you could say that the coders are entitled to a piece, and that by allowing paid hacks you could actually increase the amount of sales at vb.com) But can you go to the microsoft website and post modifications you want to sell? Can you make vb.com see that by charging for some hacks here that it wouldn't take $$/customers away from them?

They (Jelsoft) understand what hacks do for them and this community. I doubt they would mind at all.

Actually the few times I've brought up the power of the coding community and the influence it has on vbulletin sales they try to throw the 90/95% don't use hacks crap at me. I think that a large portion of that 90/95% however has purchased the software because of a site that has modifications.

The hacks dont need to be actually hosted here, just a simple thread with a paypal link and discussions.

I for one hate sites that are just click throughs to other sites. I already hate registering for more sites than I have to and this would just increase that. Plus I think linking to other sites would make it easy for coders to take someone elses hack and release it on their own site, whereas if they were hosted here you could avoid that.

Professional admins do not mind paying a few $$ for things and code that will make us 10X that on our sites.

And they don't mind paying nothing for it either. But yes, they should be more likely and more willing to pay money since they'd be getting money back and are in the position to pay in the first place.
