Isn't this a corporate/enterprise site? Why would you want to take away all your customers/people?

I think you just have to read the first reply to get the answer;

they should at least advertise vb.com a little more. maybe have a buy it now button somewhere, or something because they probably lose sales over at vb.com when people come here not knowing there is vb.com

A better question is: Why not a lot of built-in advertising options in vbulletin? People that spend the big bucks to buy it are the types that will need ads to pay for it.

Because its a forum software, not an advertising management tool

Firstly, the thread isn't "I think vb.org should have ads for ipb everywhere." or "let's have pop-ups!"

Things that could be advertised: vb seo services, vbulletin, styles for vbulletin, modifications for vbulletin etc. Have a look at some sigs or the repetitive questions posted re "where can I get an article system"(GARS) "how do I make a front page like this"(vbadvanced). None are advertising rival products to vbulletin.

"their products create enough money" - It's a wonder anyone advertises ever! Are all the volunteer staff here millionaires who provide help just as a hobby to get away from the high finance world? Is their something wrong with money? If anyone has some extra they don't want I'll have it thank you very much.

Take them away where? To a plethora of sites that provide add-ons to your product?

Or maybe it would reinvigorate coders who tend to start making a product then when no-one supports them financially either give up or disappear.

Why all the ad templates?

It's forum software with advertisement management, social networking and more. Most people build their entire sites based around this software.

Maybe we'll get ads when vb.org moves to 3.7/3.8?!

Personally i think vb.com should have ads too - if only to showcase the feature-set.

Give the money to charity for all I care.

never heard someone complain about the lack of ads on a website before

some forums are just there to serve their target audience, not shove ads in their face

We have no need for ads, simple as that.
