However, mysql, php, and several linux distros have payed versions which includes support and loveliness. And maybe Apache too, I don't know. Anyhow, if vB was nice, they could have handled pricing like that, since it obviously works for all those other companies. Now they just stand out as super greedy and short sighted.

I like the gravatars for Invision Power Board. That is not a very technical reason. :o That’s pretty shifty of VB… especially after reading the info about the pricing.
