No paid hacks rule

[akanevsky]

... is, in my opinion, pretty much pointless... Here's why:

- Advertising paid work does not harm neither this community nor its staff, as long as it has something to do with vB. It does benefit those who want what is in advertising.
- Some work is worth too much time to do for free. If some people do not value their time - it's their freedom not to value it, but it is also the freedom of others to request payment for it.
- If a piece of work is something userful, a person who created it must have an ability to tell the world about it. In case of vB hacks, there is no better place than this community. If a coder would do the same through a site, he would have to let people know about that site first. Which again would have to do with advertising..
- Posting advertising posts does not make a purchase obligatory.
- Posting advertising posts just makes all the hacks (paid and non-paid) centerred in one location, which benefits the community and esspecially those, who are willing to pay..

Considering everything I said above, what is the point in restricting advertisements of vB hacks?

You are free to advertise your paid hacks in your signature - I feel that is enough for this Community

Then why do you bother 'advertising' yours in your sig ????

Edit: Hmm, you edited your post as I was replying, which did say something like, "who bothers reading them ...".

Because that is the only thing I can do without having it deleted. -_-

I read signatures all the time. If i want to know if Hellsatan is going to port any of his hacks. Instead of making a thread or PM to him. I check his sig first. And that goes towards any hacker

[akanevsky]

Okay, then it must only be me who does not read the signatures..

Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to create a separate sub-forum for the paid hacks

It might be a good idea to create a subforum for hackers who want to advertise there paid hacks. I've spoken to a few clients who didn't know about sites beacuse there is no where to search for such site unless your ranked hi in google.

We may look at this as a paid monthly service in the future. I mean if you are going to be making money off your hacks, then we should make money off the advertisement on our site.

I can't guarantee anything will come of it though.
