Labrocca seems to be taking this seriously and I am very happy to see that. The problem I see, is that $5 a year is not going to be enough though, but that's Labrocca's call and as long as it doesn't turn into $5 a month I'm all for it.

I been making plugins and themes for about 2 years now...all for free. The $5 is just something to justify the time to myself so I don't feel guilty telling the wife I spent 3 days working on something and then just released it for free. Even if I get just 10-20 subscribers a month..that really does help justify the time.

Support is pretty much going to be emphasized whole-heartedly.

In your signature you have this:

OK. But why !? And when ?
Because all this plugins and themes was free !

labrocca Wrote:So are you more upset that you can't get my good plugins for free

I already have all your plugins, released until now.

Hey thanks for the discussion but you won't be changing the situation. I can't be persuaded to alter this. Would you rather I stop making plugins period? How about I stop releasing them at all and keep them for myself? Don't let your anger cloud your judgement about what other people do. If I want to charge for download privileges at my site that's my perogative.

OK. I will consider this discussion closed (for me) and I'm sorry if you are upset because I talking about "pay or not for plugins".
I wish you luck and I hope to make a lot of money with your plugins !
Maybe it's time to make my own (free) plugins.
Have a nice day!

Best regards.

Not upset at all really. It's understandable that some aren't going to react well about this.

I just ask that you consider all things.

I totally encourage you to create your own plugins.

Thank's. I will do that.
And I think in this way many others "nobs" will make their own plugins.
It's necessary.

I do not see why people are all upset about this labrocca has said this before i am sure with the plugin he is selling you make money off it so its not like your going to lose any thing.

Just to clarify something: it's not about a small fee or a big one, some members (like me), who are students for example, simply can't pay anything to anyone on the internet, not even 1 cent, so having a small fee won't help actually.

Ummm... what?

One last thing: why do you think MyBB it's so appreciated !?
Because is good and FREE ! This is no.1 reason.
