i would make a donation.

I have a few friends who would benefit from this, though not me personally. I will point them here.

HOW MUCH?

Because if someone goes through the trouble to get this done, or even puts up the money to make it happen, and then you turn around and say something like "Well, I never said how much I would contribute. Here's $5" - I would personally pay another $100 to witness the curbstomping.

Be a man and commit to a dollar amount. Obviously if whoever takes this on blows it and presents us with some absolute crap, we're all going to walk. But for the benefit of whoever is willing to put out the effort to get this done, state something a little more solid than "I'm in". If that's all we get, this will never get done.

Its kinda hard to commit to a dollar amount.. I myself said I was willing to give up to even 300 bucks if its as good as its been talked up by some people.. But if its good... Not as good as I expected, I may only give 200.... It all depends... We need some sort of visual, or description from the possible coder to do this before we give an actual 'commited' amount

completely understandable

I would offer $100 towards this. Can pay up front via pay pal also.

[kanadian]

we should hold a series of online tournaments with a percentage of the proceeds held and put towards this effort...would be a way to contribute to the development and have some fun. I set up charity tournaments all the time online.

say...a $20 buyin and a $2 reg fee...assume 40 players from our combined communities come out...that's a prizepool of $800

1st place: $250
2nd: $200
3rd: $150
4th: $100

in this example: 700/800 is spoken for...$100 remains and would go to the project. We could do a bunch of these..it's a way to contribute and have a chance at actually making $$ in the process.

I would put down up to $300 ... Lets make this happen! It seems as if there is plenty of interest.

I would like to see some kind of statement from the developer with a quote of completion and what features would be included.

I don't understand how people can say I'm in for $200 if it is good. There is always risk involved, and either you are in or you are not. The idea is that your contribution helps fund the product, not purchases the finished product if it is good. That is why all payments should be collected and held by somebody trustworthy and all reasearch should be done ahead of time.

What does this developer have for a portfolio? Have they done similar projects? Are they familiar with Vbulletin? Are they able to make it secure so that it won't be pirated easily? Answers to these would be great.

That's what I'm talking about! Attitudes like this is what's going to get it done - I'm with you on it, if it helps and we have a trustworthy escrow party, and we can get some kind of description on it - I'm in for $200, better or worse. Thanks for your well spoken contribution, guile09.
