They earn money with their skills and creativity in a honest way. For a lot of people that is even the only possibility to have a job for various health reasons they can''t work outdoors. So I think you shouldn''t insult or judge them.

Hold up.. You are taking it to the other extreme. The issue is with doing that for a free forum script. I find it silly. Sorry if that sounds insulting. Much better ways of making money with those kinds of skills. Talking about coding for a major company, website design, etc. I'll use my own site for a example. The guy who does alot of work for us has gotten paid in the x,xxx for doing what he has done in a short period of time. There is always something new which keeps him working as well. THAT is where the money is at. Understand what i am saying?

There is nothing silly about that. Just because Mybb is free it doesn''t mean that every third party add on and theme should be free as well. That doesn''t make sense at all. Especially for big plugins that take days to develope.

Or another scenario, someone asks for a big plugin to be created for him, and because Mybb is free he thinks the plugin developers should create it for free as well. That is just not right. Why should I put in so many hours/days working on something so someone can get it for free? And they aren''t even appreciative because they think like you, it is their right to get it for free.

You are very fanatical about this and one can''t talk reason with someone like that.

P.s. If you would have created a plugin or theme and give it away for free time and time again, then you would have sang in a different tune. I checked also some of your posts at Mybb and sorry to say but you seem like a troll and nothing else. I didn''t see you doing something for the community there but only bitch about paid plugins.
