I would offer free and paid versions of products if I ever get down to not being lazy.
For example if I had made XenPortal (which I completely love!) I'd have made two different versions. I don't know if any of you are familiar with DragonByte on Vbulletin but I'd do it like them. Free Version/Pro Version.
If it's a simple add-on like adjusting postbits, adding trophy boxes, adding top 10 anything (simple read and sort code).... I'd give that away for free and update it when I see fit. Not that I have an issue with the existing programmers who've taken time to create these wonderful $1 add-ons... I just don't see any point to charging at all! lol But $1 does go a long way. I was once in the position where coding and developing was my only source for bread and bed (starving artist story).
I don't complain if it's free and I double, triple check my need for anything that I have to pay for. I already put $140 into the community and my staff has contributed at least another $100 for add-ons. We make no money from the site.
Just joined ya forum. Was your forum vBulletin before?I would offer free and paid versions of products if I ever get down to not being lazy.

She knows I like her. It's not really creepy if she knows, and uh, is mutual in a friendly kind of way.Dunno about anyone else, but that comes across as really creepy, Carlos
Ahh but do you just like her... or do you like her *settles in for a gossip*She knows I like her. It's not really creepy if she knows, and uh, is mutual in a friendly kind of way.
Yes it was </3 lol the old version 3.8.x don't mind the hooligans!Just joined ya forum. Was your forum vBulletin before?
Yeah I know what you're talking about I just never got picky about that.Off topic:
DragonByte and I don't play well with each other. Another modification placed their copyright above theirs and I guess they (DragonByte) do everything they can so that their copyright will always be on top (just below vBulletin's copyright, but above your own).... If you're going to argue placement... Expect bad results.
I started to release mass free open source alternatives to their products. Come to think about it, I have the habit of doing so whenever I think the market is flooded with too much paid stuff (as with IPB) or if the paid stuff is just silly (so simple, it shouldn't be paid).
For example, on IPB, something as stupid as this
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/background-highlight-for-links.642/
Would have cost you $5
I don't think anyone should do business like they do business.
Speaking of which, why not move the mobile theme back to Other Styles section since I moved most of mine out of that section?A.) I didn't spend that much time on it to justify it to be paid(xf stop)
B.) I don't have the time to support it to justify me charging for it even though I've worked on it for quite some time(xfsmobile)
I really wish I.had more time period to release more styles to guys n gals, hopefully soon ill push some more out

Yeah it used to be there then someone moved it. I've noticed that it's easier to find your style if it's in the Other Styles section instead of digging through a bunch of skins just to find it in the Light Styles section.I never actually moved it to be honest with you ;p, not sure who did that.
