I imagine every vBulletin web-bbs winds up with a suggestion box, so here it is for this one.

Question

Is this software open-source? If so, do you have interest in hacking at it a bit?

It isn't truly open source as I had to (gulp) PAY for it, but it's open source in that it's distributed in source form. I have a great interest in hacking around with it. But the nice thing about this software is how remarkably modifiable it is without having to go to the source. All the headers, footers, colors, etc. are all modifiable from the administrative section.

Go right ahead! It was $160, which I feel is worth every penny.

I think there's room for all sorts of models and licenses in the open source world. I wish everyone could make their mint on support and services and just leave the source entirely open. But this model is not half bad: paying a reasonable amount up front for software that is so obviously worth it, and then getting the source as a part of the deal.

If enough good software can't be produced on the strictly open model, this model at least keeps standards open. Plus, if the company who produced it dies, at least someone can support the software with the code.

Less than 10 posts in 12 years ... Dwellars are not a suggest-able lot.

Come on people, you're not trying hard enough.

Ok then here's my suggestion: New members should have full access to the board immediately after registration. Most "spammers" are not human, but spambots, which are easily flush out at registration.

I'm guessing this post won't be visible until I am "approved."
