Let me say that it's not cheap. But with enough interest from other Vbulletin owners, this can happen.

My findings are that this will cost between $3000 - $5000 from some reputable companies. This wouldn't be a rinky dinky game, should be pretty kick butt.

Anyways, this type of MOD definately would bring people back to you site that are into Texas Hold'em, atleast I know my site would be winner from it.

That being said, here's my thought.

If you are interested in this mod, and would like to contribute $$ to it, let's hear it here.

Let's say it costs $4k to have this done, and we have 20 Vbulletin owners that are interested, that's $200 a person. Not bad for a professional integrated VBulletin MOD.

Also, if several of the Vbulletin owners wish to Sponsor the MOD, and get their links, and logo's put on it, and pay a little more to alleviate the cost for others, this would be a great opportunity for that.

Everyone who contributes, gets a say on features, and so forth.

Right now, I have a company out of NY, that said they'd probably be able to knock this out in 30 days, and costing $3000 for a months of work. They are very professional, and they show you the work as it's done, and have daily progress notes, so that you can see how it's going from day to day.

So post your interest here, and lets see how many people are willing to contribute. If enough interest is shown here, I may front the bill, and re-sell it to the ones that show interest here. I don't wish to keep re-selling this. This will be a ONE TIME ONLY offer, after we do this if someone wants a copy, they'll have to get their own developer.

So are you interested?

Just making sure I quote you on this for future ref.
This does sound intresting, but I am not into fools gold or magic elixir.
If you do pull an internet scam and are living in USA-CAN-UK-EU-AUS-JAP good luck trying to get away from being prosecuted.

If this is ligitamate, then why not create it on your own and then introduce it. If you get a member to buy in ahead without you actually seeing this in even a demo or have an outline of what function and abilities, then to bad for you. You would need testers that you can trust with that product and coders if you are unable to complete this project.

Why ask us for money when you can apply for a loan at a bank?

Are you a coder by chance?

You might want to check to be sure that gray matter between your ears isn't "lead weight".

You better learn that there is scammers in every corner trying to take a sucker.
You must be the one that was referred to as beening born in that minute

Well, I was born on a Wednesday.. but not last Wednesday.


He stated he would be willing to put up the money himself beforehand, though... so I think you were a bit out of line with your comment. But hey! No hard feelings, I laughed my tail off at my own wit and I hope you did too. Carry on with the serious replys for the Texas Hold'Em, gentlemen - I'd love to see this come through.

I'm interested, but strictly on the condition that it remains as described "a one off offer". This would require a mechanism to prevent someone who buys in at the start and then attempts to recover their $200 expense by selling off 20 copies @ $10 (or worse) - that's where a problem could emerge.

I'd also suggest that if a group is formed, it seeks out a senior member of this site who would be prepared to use his Paypal account as an escrow account and for their trouble they receive a copy of the script for free.

That should help eliminate concerns about it being a scam.

Great post, Mike - on all counts.

If this is done in Flash, would it not be possible to encode something into it that will only allow it to work on certain domains?

If this is possible, how about we all submit the domains we plan on using this on?

Also, an NDA with the programmer is a MUST - there's no point in all of us forming a coalition only to find our work was for naught when the programmer starts selling it. I say we all sign an NDA or something legally binding of that nature.
