Coders & Designers appreciate good code and product design. You don't need to have first hand experience of the mod for that.

If it's a good concept, well featured and well executed, but i have no use for it on my forum, why should that mean I cannot vote for it? It still fulfills all of the relevant critera to be the best modification that month, and I'm more than capable of judging that without installing it =)

What you are suggesting is people vote for "Mod that is most useful for my personal board this month" not "Best mod created this month".

This is supposed to be about the latter, not the former

as a coder I suppose you have your priority about what you want to see in a mod, its obviously not what the average user would agree is important. and The fact that the product is driven by coders to modify a commercial product , like it was open source, so that it is more useful to people like me the end user. means that the customer is always right :>

so the world is in the end still sane. The mod i voted for got my money and the one you voted for didn't get your money, obviously so who won?

let me give you an example of whats wrong with this software, the sitemap generator doesn't work right, so someone writes an addon that does work, then vbull, upgrades making the mod you payed for not work, so they upgrade, and the vicious circle is complete. But does VBull fix sitemap?

truth is mod of the whatever is a pointless childish futile effort in the same thing we as site owners are trying to do with your MODS, make a site worth sticking around long enough to find the next little interest grabbing link to click on , so they stay here wasting time like im doing talking to you.

but there is always you tube !
