This mod is currently designed to tune in to vBulletin forums. Therefore, it is a vBulletin mod.

I didnt' see anyone disagree with this fact.

The point that is being made here is this:

You cannot use this board to recruit testing for a mod that is going to go pay only. It is some what like IPB did. Got people to test 2.0 for free, thne started charging for it. Nto the same, but similiar.

I think things might go differently if a free/lite version was to be released as well.

I seriously would love to know, why is everybody hellbent on the idea that vB Space is going to pay only. It has been stated MANY MANY times that its going to BE free and STAY free.

I guess we need to determine what exactly "commercial" is in this case and maybe some others.

If what they are offering is actually free, though members can make money using it, is that commercial? I wouldn't think so...

I mean, to compare... I have used hacks that help me interface into other paid scripts.. Those hacks were not considered commercial, even though I actually have paid for the other scripts that they were helping me to use with my vb forums.

I'm not here to be argumentative, and like I have said, I probably won't be using (at least at this point) any centralized system, but if the question about the original thread is because it was commercial, I don't exactly see it, especially since it evolved...

PS. Though it was not directed at me, I definitely don't think Jelsoft cares only about the money and nothing else.. Just like I don't think coders that charge for hacks are bad, etc.. I think there should be a commercial directory here, even if they have to pay to it, but that is slightly off-topic.

Actually, it is not only going to be free using the centralized system they have setup - it has the potential to be profitable to people with adsense accounts who's members use their system.

After previewing the demo, this is totally not what I was looking for :/
This is like linking a users profile to myspace. I don't feel as though hundreds of thousands of people will surf thru the communities on your portal site to join other communities. Thanks for your time and I hope to see a stand alone product from anyone in the near future.

It's free right now. And that's how it'll stay.

Free and commercial are two totally different things.

vB Space will cost people nothing. Yes, some money will be made via Adsense, but you guys are getting this all for free, why whine that they will make a bit of money for all their hard work?

There have been plenty of hacks on here that have been released as free with 1 or 2 total features, but you can't get all of the features unless you pay like $10. vB Space is going to be 100% free.

What in the world is going on then? Is this a compeltely different thing then what Danny.VBT was working on? Because I used ot chat with him in IRC and back then plans were 1.0 free, 2.0 paid, and then I saw a slow transition to paid only.

*sigh* I guess I'm just confused.

Yes, this is completely different. Theres no plan for a version 1.0 and 2.0 with 2.0 being paid.
