why not have free/paid mod section?
I think it would be nice if vb.org setup free/paid mod sections for major versions
of vb. There are a lot of good mods already leaning toward abandonment, and I can understand why if modders are not getting paid, so they move on to better things leaving that useful mod to rot... Free Section - may a demo type mod to see if the client maybe interested in buying. Paid Section - So if a client likes the free version, then they would buy the mod that could have more full features compared to the free mod. and if a coder gets paid, then they are likely to stay around much longer, and keep their mods updated. I am seeing new mods for new VB that already heading toward the grave-yard because the coder is no where to be seen... Chances are that I would pay for a highly sought after mod that serves to enhance the forum, and if it is a good mod, then others may also, of course the cheesy meaningless mods can be kept in the free section.... |

I don't quite agree with you.
There is a section where you can request a paid mod if needed. I love how things work here in vb, people willing to contribute. You can always thank them by sending a donation. I own a site that is powered by a social networking script and modders there will charge you $30,$50, $200 for each mod(even for a line of html), the community there used to be like the one here at vbulletin.org but people suggested something similar to what you are suggesting right now and that community now sucks(there are only 6 or 7 modders there now). |

Agree with the above post, But i do think anyone should be able to take over a mod if the original author does not support it or has not updated it for over a set period

their mods any longer, then they are subject to be taken over by someone that will. whats the point of an out of date or dead mod if no one is working on it? If one coder leaves for whatever reason, then I am sure another would be interested in picking up the slack... |

it's been brought up a 100 times, and it isn't going to change

Besides, how would vB.org be able to get past the fact that mods are copyright to the coder. |

We cannot, which is one reason why there will never be any such rule.

This isn't rocket science. I think the Apache license has something like this built in. |
