I have never understood this community that thinks code should be free but styles and graphics deserve to be paid for.

That said, back on topic, I can understand perfectly why Jelsoft wouldn't people posting willy-nilly about paid hacks. It reeks of spam when a forum becomes overloaded with "buy this" posts and signature lines.

In addition, Jelsoft deserves a cut if we are going to use their site to promote our paid products. I would love to see Jelsoft do something along the lines of WebHosting Talk and allow developers to pay to advertise their addons.

No, it's not irrelevant, Amy. This site was set up to learn and share coding. It has no place for paid hacks or advertising of any kind. And it should be that way. Some of the hacks that have turned into paid hacks, the authors learned how to do a lot of the coding for those hacks here. They should be more interested in giving back to the community that taught them than trying to make a fast buck out of it.

And I don't think it's ok for graphics and styles to be paid for. I have 4 styles on my board and I didn't have to pay for any of them. There are styles out there that are free and some of them are just as good if not better than the ones people pay for.
