I do not want to see vB's hard work down the drain. If they do decide to Archive 2.0 will we be able to disect the board and do with it what we please? (that is my question) Because I would be willing to dissect the board, Edit it a little bit, and set it for a freeware on my own forum (will use the actual 2.0 too) and have the modifications etc on there? I would just need help getting an install hack like vb has now on 3.5 to allow them to install/uninstall hacks on the fly. How does that sound to you guys?

I dont think making it free is a good idea. Because you will make popular a Software name but with less utilities as the Actual SW. I mean, a lot of new people will realise about a new forums software and test it, but then go away for phpBB or something with more utilities because vB 2.x lacks of them.

If you make something free, at least make a demo version, like vb3.5.x as a demo, with a lot of restricted aplications. For example in the Thread tools some legend that says "Upgrade and you could do this and this and this".

I dont know if i was very clear. Sorry for my english.
