all i know is something has to be done sooner or later or vb is gonna end up like all the rest of the CMS's...dead.......coders will leave,designers will leave iv seen it happen WAY to many times before i mean sure people will still use it but progression in the modding /design part of the community will come to a halt (unless of coarse your one of those folks that just do it for free)
Vb will not die, or more specific vb.org won't. Coders, designers will leave and 10 will pop up in their place and evolve into advance coders who's abilities will get better and better thus contributing better and better content. The org is community driven which is a big factor why it's such a successful site to the point we see copycat sites pop up who will always try to be what vb.org is.
You may have seen it all before but in my opinion the org is different. There are motivated people who will continue to contribute to a site whether or not content is being stolen because often than not the source files are held by the authors not the stealing sites that enduces people to come here/register here to receive modifications of their graphics and styles and support for the scripts they choose to install.
Site's may become stagnated, but designers/coders will never halt in making their submissions. The site is free to an extent sure you still have to own a license but it's free in the way that after your purchase people post their 3rd party addons for free which makes the future of this site strong both for this site and more for jelsoft.
Without this site, jelsoft would not get as many customers as they do or atleast that's merely my opinion in making that statement.
