Hi everyone,

As discussed in my previous post here, the preference of the Crawlability team would be for a supported commercial area here at vb.org in order to further support the community.

However, if you plan to launch a new forum as a centralized location for information on premium vB hacks, etc., we are prepared to support the effort.

I am willing to provide a portion of the funding required to launch and maintain the project including:

vB license fee
monthly hosting
advertising budget (AdWords, etc)

I will also make the Crawlability team available to assist with various tasks and provide promotion from www.vbseo.com. And, of course, the offer would not be complete without a free copy of vBSEO 2.2.0 for the forum.

Please forward me a cost assessment when available.

P.S. (To the moderating team) Have discussions in the internal moderation forums reached any consensus on whether or not vb.org will consider creating an area for commercial promotion?

I think the opposite - I think that capitolism will determine the ultimate success or failure of individual works. If someone puts up a mod that isn't worth what is being asked for, then people won't buy it.

The marketplace (i.e. you, the customer) determine weather a product is worth it's price - not the publisher.

That is business in general. If a person needs vBulletin to have an official site for paid hacks to succeed, they have failed already!

This is way out of proportion IMO. All we need is a good introductions forum where anyone can post their resume. Tell the community who they are and their experience and show their contributions to the community and announce they are a professional and for hire if so.

End it there, we already can have links in our sigs to paid work. vBulletin is already putting lot up for us to benefit from if you look around.

No offence, but this is why this will fail. All the alpha minded folks will want control and be able to use it to their benefit. There will never be an objective way to pull this off. Favoritism will provail.

I can see why Jefsoft wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole!

I believe you are totally wrong. This would make life easier for us majority of vbulletin owners, by dedicating our time to productive tasks, rather than wasting time chasing "some" coders to update their free and buggy scripts. Paid is the way to go. The world works with money. Throw money at the problem and everybody will be happy.

The Geek · #**256** 11-10-2005, 04:35 PM

Chris - count me in. Anything I can offer financialy or codeily.

Saying that, I would suggest that it would be wise to all get together in a forum or on IRC to discuss objectives and a forward plan. It could be foolish to be too hasty at this stage.

(saying that, im like a giddy 8 year old on x-mas eve

"just open the damn thing already!")

so we can count you then noppid ?

Are we talking about the same thing?

If you have to chase a coder, you failed as a consumer. If you got free code that broke, then you got what you paid for!

If you want to pay for code and your coder can't show you a home site and or email address where you can find them, they you again failed as a consumer. I suggest you use folks with references that have been around at least a year, perhaps two or three and have an established site and customer base to prove their worth.

You don't need a special site to find that, you need to be a smart consumer.

hehe. Not my bag baby. Hell, I havent been on IRC since I was introduced to mIRC in 1997

Maybe if the above forum could be setup for initial discussions that would work best. Othersie I am more than happy to set up a private discussion forum at thevbgeek.com
