ya know everyone appreciates the work of coders but the truth of the matter is yall are coding to better your own sites first then offer to the community its a give and take situation most just take since alot dont have coding expierience. but when one coder codes something he also installs a bunch of already coded hacks that someone else made (most likely) i dont think the coders deserve any type of license adjustment. just for the fact that vbulletin coders made the forum too better your sites and give you a excellent forum software. if vbulletin wanted arcades or all these hacks generally they would of coded them directly into the system. this site is a place for everyone to shair there ideas and coding to help better the community and make vbulletin the best community. just like php has there community and post nuke php nuke mambo and every other major forum or content management system...

if a coder wants to achieve cash or discounts for stuff. sincce you have the ability to code you take on your own time a custum script for someones site. i dont know but most of tjhe good coders here can whip out awesome stuff. so making 30 bucks wouldnt be extremely difficult for there coding.

i know i would pay someones renewal license for the next three years if they would do custum work for me. but all aaround there shouldnt be a reward for community submissions thats my opinion. its all great work but with the amount of coders giving rewards would bankrupt vbulletin. once they sell the license thats it. if your a coder and just hack your own board for the rest of the time. you would never have to pay again which would decrese vbulletins revenue which i dont see them wanting to do for some coding. i am sure they would rather do there own addons then pay others

The idea has been mentioned before. It would be nice to get say 10% off the yearly renewal for every 1000 installs (or whatever). A licence per 1000 installs is not going to interest most people as they have all the licences they need (what would I do with another 7 licences ..... )

agreed.

Damned unlikely; plus, you would have to reward quality of work, not quantity.

Ding Ding Ding!

What's wrong with rewarding quality?

Please don't say "too much work".

Also, I agree with Paul regarding a certain poster getting a bit outta hand lately...

Was that in responds to me? If so I see nothing wrong with rewarding quality. Its quanity that shouldn't be rewarded.

I think vb.org can see and picks out the dedicated writers.

Yep, I see it that way too, and I can't see that being done in a way that doesn't inconvienience someone as they have to check for quality.
