I've just read about a hack that the writer is not giving away for free, but rather is charging people for the code.

Whether this is right or wrong or good or bad is not what I want to discuss here, however. Rather, the point I'm bringing up is that many people, including myself, do not want to or cannot pay for hacks, and I don't really want to read about something I can't have. I cannot tell you how upsetting it is to me to read about some great new hack and to get excited about using it, only to find out that I can't have it. Sometimes people are better off not knowing what they're missing.

So what I'm proposing is that there be a separate forum, perhaps a subforum inside the Full Releases forum, where all for-money hacks must go. I've made this a poll so we can see if I'm the only one who feels this way, or if others agree.

i'm not agree ...

if they are making money on their hacks (i don't like this idea first ...) they can have their own support on their site ...

> They just had to put their url and a brief description in vBulletin.org... no more

I for one don't like hacks that charge money, unless it's been tested on high traffic boards and is really complex. overgrow's karma hack i do consider one but all others that people charge for, i'll make for free and release it because i don't believe in charging people money for a small modification.

I say they should go in a different forum...

What's the worst that will happen?

You see a nicce payhack in there... and someone is inspired by it and writes a free version?

but then the forum would not be successful because nobody would release them anymore.

I dont see a need for it IMO. There are 3 hacks that I know of that the authors are charging for. Not nearly enough to warrant a full forum for them.

You have got to be kidding me. Jerk is the word.
