50:50 doesn't mean much, not 50% doesn't mean much
When I looked at the results, it was exactly 1 vote difference, which in my opinion isn't a clear result.

I would suggest that even 40% of the members supporting the benefit would be significant in itself. Where you might be hung up on the percentages, I'm simply looking to gauge interest and anything above 20% is probably worthy of inclusion for no other reason than it gives people a choice.

If everyone is serious about getting feedback from vb.org members via this poll, why not display it on the vbulletin.org homepage in a prominent position? My recommendation is that the moderating team should consider this option as a method of getting further input, not to ultimately make a decision at this stage. However, it will give us all a better idea of how the members here can be better served (from their own perspective).

The funny thing about polls... they can easily be twisted to support any arguement. Let's say that the "Yes" vote gets the most responses.... if the vB.org staff were behind the idea then they'd come out saying "See, the people have spoken!" but if the vB.org staff were against the idea then they'd come out saying "Well, it doesn't matter because not everybody voted" or "Only the people who wanted to see talks/ads of commercial hacks" voted or some other spin. And, of course, the flip side is true... if the "No" vote gets the most responses then the people wanting to see commercial hacks here would be able to spin it the same way.

Democracy at work, ain't it a killer? There's a reason why the US is a republic.

I dont believe that there should be any section for paid addons. And for those who are demanding a change in the site slogan; this is advertising, nothing has to be correct down the finite details. Besides this is more of a partial, opiniated statement. Anyways to the subject in hand ... a section for paid modifications ... hmm i myself am a continual user of commerical such as vB SEO, v3 Arcade, GARS but what i prefer is how they appear on their own forums and dont have their support topics overuining this forum instead. Although i like the idea of paid modifications not being acknowledged perhaps it might be appropiate for there to be a topic outlet for new paid modifications to be posted and updated to a particular list. Or a list of commerical websites such as vB Advanced, The Geek, vB SEO to be submitted instead of their individual modifications offered?

I think one of the misconceptions running rampant here is that some think a new "forum" would house this stuff and that vB.org would have an area for businesses to provide support.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought what was being suggested was a directory of some sort. Don't get into fitting a square peg into a round hole - use a directory type listing script - not vBulletin itself.

As for the poll itself being significant or not - obviously considering the sample size, it is not in the strictest sense of the term. But I believe it was set-up to test Boofo's assertion (and maybe others) that not too many want to see this happen. In that sense, so far, the result is significant.

Yes sir they should be allowed. I know how much time it takes and how your head can swin in code when working on a project not to mention the bug fixing and support that has to be given after the product is complete. Couple that with the ungrateful people that cry and complain when they run into problems and I can't see why anyone releases anything for free.
While I haven't released any mods I have a few mods that are unique to my forums and most of them would be of no use to anyone else because they are tailored to the needs of my communities. I did think about releasing one of them after getting a few PM asking for it, but, after seeing what goes on in the support threads I decided it wasn't worth it.
If I was ever to finish the static archive hack I started last year it would be a paid for addon. I can deal with the complaining when I'm getting paid. I can't when I donate my resources and time.

Oh, BTW, I accidently voted no. FTR, I am in favor of it so add one more yes and subtract a no.

Mere "85" votes from "1,10,000" registered members... a very good yardstick to hit across the point!!

Yes. I think it should. These programmers work hard and I am willing to pay for good stuff, as long as a good demo is provided.
