Not Supported = Abandoned

seems like such a waste to have a great idea be stuck at an earlier version of vb cuz the original creator either cant or wont update it

i mean we do allow addon mods

That's not necessarily the case... I list several of my addons as not-supported because I don't guarantee to support them. When the supported icon was on I'd get messages from people upset that I hadn't responded in hours... without out there's a little more forgiveness. In no way are these addons not being developed or used, I simply don't make promises I won't keep. By the same token, there's a lot of great mods out there with supported checked that don't get support... as time elapses, things change and people get busy. What they checked on a form doesn't really tell where they stand a year later.
