Now THAT'S a constructive post!!:banana:

That would be Jelsoft. If I remember correctly, it was Wayne who started the proposal for a commercial directory. It could have been Steve, but I'm 90% sure it was Wayne.

Yes, it was Wayne.

There isn't a copy of it available to view, the only reason I have a copy is because I saved a copy of the thread in it's early days. It only existed for a month before they took the details and opinions of the users here to review and discuss.

Love Wayne! We bump into each other from time to time on boards...he's da man!!

I really hope this comes to pass! There's a lot of money to be had for smart, proficient, professional vbulletin coders.

I have great respect for coders so I won't compare them with designers; they go hand-in-hand, really. I can say from my experience that I've spent long hours, weeks and months working on designs. For just a hobby staring at the computer 16 hours straight and having a design completed only after 5 months by no means can be achieved without patience, tolerance and a bit of humor.

With all things relative I know coders who can't design and designers who can't code, let alone manipulate a code. At a hobby or professional level, there is an art to what we do. I agree that with the knowledge we have helping others is what makes this community successful. Support is never easy and in retrospect it can be an art as well.

I'm one of them - I know just about enough simple html to get by, and that's it, I could never design and build a style.

I might not have read all 12 pages of this thread, but from what I have read I can come up with a suggestion that may or may not have been suggested before. VB can assign a team of moderators or admins to look at unanswered posts and if these posts have been answered in another thread, direct the member to that thread. This would be that moderators sole purpose as a moderator.

I think that it was discussed several times before, including in this thread. While it's a good suggestion I'm wondering how well it will work out since the time spent here is by voluntary basis.

[peterska2]

Now if vB were gonna pay me, I'd do that no problem at all. But voluntary? No chance, I've got enough stuff to do for free without having to fit anything else in.

I can't do either. Concept, marketing, and PR are my strengths.

I have no desire to learn coding or designing...once those two things are completed, that's when I get busy.

Too bad there's no PR section of this site. That's where I'd most be able to actually contribute something of true value.
