If volunteer staff were reworded would they still be 'volunteer'?

Yes they would. You can be a paid volunteer. Africa is full of them.

Anyway I'm not asking for ads, I just wondered why there are none. I suppose ads could be shown only to guests or unlicensed members. Doubt there would be a shortage of people voluteering to pay for ads i.e. stylers, producers, seo specialists, maybe even vb itself could offer vb.org a finders fee for new customers. This site is the reason I've gone for vb.

Ads detract from the look of a site/forum - I personally like a site with no ads, rather than one full of ads.

Considering that this site is a 'perk' for people who pony up the cash for a vBulletin license, I think ads would be a bit out of place.

Doubt all the guests are licensed tbh. We'd probably never see ads if they did implement them anyway. No one likes ads but people click them.

Also aren't a lot of license holders also product/style developers? Would ads not help them? What if you got 1000 impressions of your site banner on here? Would you dislike ads so much?

Anyway...'why should we' seems to be the consensus so I'll leave it.

Even more as you'll be having people release complete and utter nonsensical modifcations or templates just for that sole purpose
