Stimulate 5.x Plugin Development

It seems to be working well for XenForo, so taking the former into consideration it (or a trial balloon) is at least worth discussing. No members have liked this post.

If premium plugins were allowed or a dedicated section was made for premium plugins, it would demotivate coders to make free plugins. Most coders will start making premium plugins only.
In my opinion there are currently quite some lite plugins with a premium version released by certain coders that are horrible. They basically force you to buy the premium version. DBTech is a good example of how to do it right.

Don't matter what another platform does, vB is not the right place for it. Besides, there is only around 2% of the vB installs running 5.x, and also any cloud members can't use addons.
So you want to simulate addon development for vB5, spend your time fixing the many bugs in it, spend time adding hooks in as many locations as possible. You could do all this in your dev environment, and submit the fixes and improvements to vB. Then more users will adapt to the 5.x version, then you can start doing lite/pro mods as has worked on here for years.

I have been in xenforo resources. I can tell that it really works.
Developers start to flooding the resources with add on to create sales and competition will down the price and create better quality add on. Don't worry about free add ons it is alive too. You can see no price tag that is free one. 2000 add ons you cannot never denied the success of stimulating add ons. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ The idea to stimulate by allowing premium section is good. But the resources add on by xenforo itself is a killer. Indirectly you stimulate vb5 sales when new buyer deciding it take a look at this market too.

vb5 seems like alot more powerful software at core any time i try to compare to xen...
i think the community can develop it adequately? 5.2.0 has hardly even been released and 5.2.1 seems more like the "major" release thats less rushed...imho it is still basically coming out of beta tho... i dont see why there should be a hurry to supporting paid addons for 2000 categories but i can appreciate the sentiment...personally im 3 yrs into my vb5 ownership and yes there is a feeling like pls god can this go any faster, but locking up functions with paid additions right now i really feel is a bad move that will not be good for the community... its not a good incentive for coders i would think either as there are still frequent upgrades, low customer #s, and in some cases, vb is adding basic functions anyway just in their own time lol idk...personally i will rather rag vb to fix their product and make solid groundworks for 3rd party community than to pay more...i do have some customization i will gladly need to pay, but the idea of 2000 pay modification really um...who will that benefit, i dont want that No members have liked this post.
