Poll: Should .org have a section for paid add-ons?

[Jenta]

Definate no because Jelsoft would be a target for unhappy customers. Keep that stuff on your own sites and link to them in your signatures or your free hacks,

seems like a good idea to me

links? I'm looking for things coded specifically for vbulletin, not something that the user has to modify to get to work.

I voted no, this site is for FOC hacks.

Umm its impossible to make scaled down versions of everything.

I voted no and my site is all about selling. I think it would become too difficult to maintain a list and not have some person/persons feel it were slanted to one product over another is one thing. The other is if a person who comes to this site is of reasonable intelligence a simple search turns up many posts on just about any hack or product, paid or FOC. I think this site needs to remain focused on the core vb product...now ya'll be sure and come visit me when you need a skin

Jellsoft must prepare a paid vbulletin modification , style section. It might be under vb.org or vb.com but there must be a resource directory which we can rate.

In principle I'm in favor of promoting hack contributors, but I will vote undecided because ...

1) This poll is too basic.
What is needed first is a survey:
- Opinions and suggestions provided in the feedback thread should be compiled into a list of possible avenues for self promotion, from signature use and onwards.
- Each survey entry should provide multiple choices: Yes/No/Undecided. (Maybe)
- Multiple survey options need to be selectable, because the solution may be a combination of scenarios.

After the survey has been hashed out and then evaluated, if so desired a Yes/No/Undecided Poll could be conducted for a final consensus.
---------------

2) I would first like to see what vB.com is up to regarding plugins / free and/or paid.
I am hoping that when vB.com's first plugin comes out that they will explain how and what directions the company will be using plugins for.
I am also hoping that they will offer further means of supporting vB.org and the coding community who have freely contributed to the extended use of this product.

At this time, this discussion is imperative, because sooner probably rather then later vB.com/vB.org will be be bringing out the stone chisels ... er making announcements that will make it clearer as to their own intentions and use of plugins, and policy toward support of other plugin providers free or paid.

I think its important not to get caught up in the details because that's not what this is about; because this isn't about implementing such a thing, its just a gauge of the interest.

If you think there is a place, even if limited in some form, then you can vote YES. If you don't see any condition in which a paid addon should be discussed here, then vote NO. There is no need to make this any more complicated.

yes they should
