Proposal: The vBulletin.org Commercial Services and Addons Directory.

[tamarian]

I still prefer a separate site, linked to from vb.org, just like you do with these sites:

vBulletin Network

vBulletin.com - Official Support Forums, Official Support Site for unhacked vBulletin Boards
vBulletin-Germany.com, Official Support Site for unhacked german vBulletin Boards
vBHacks-Germany.com, Official Support Site for Hacked German vBulletin Boards

Just add vbservices.com to the list, and end of story. All vb.org members will see it on the main forum home, and no longer need to search.

Having paid hacks on the same site as free hacks will add a lot of crap and flame wars, and just add a lot of bad blood, as proven from recent incidents. Yes, there some great commercial hack authors who play by the rules (like the Geek), but the record isn't that good with most, and they do cause a bad stink here.

But, if you guys go ahead with this, you'll probably want to do a lot of fine print on the details. Example: since many of the paid hack authors claim that you get what you paid for, and their stuff is superior, while free hacks are crap, then free hacks authors should have the option of turning their hacks into paid hacks, and see if they get members willing to pay for them than the commercial ones. Chances are they'll out-sell commercial hacks.
