Once again, I'm not proposing to sell anybody's stuff. Any legalities that you think are a huge stretch are already cleared by things like RDX and WoWEcon. Hell, I think that paid sites that offer faster patch downloads and the like to premium users aren't qualitatively different.

Heck severeal posts in this thread are from people that have openly admitted that they don't even use your mod. I don't think a pay site is going to provide the kind of numbers you think it will, not when there are a bazillion other mods out there with about 80% of this functionality for free.

Yeah, that may be true. That's what I'm trying to explore.

That's not really true.

Again, I'm not trying to sell people's code. I'm not trying to make code private. I'm not interested in any sort of copy-protection scheme. It's completely a moot topic. If people download things and post elsewhere, there's nothing I could do other than object. I'm simply interested in knowing whether there's enough people who would see value in this and join to make this a viable idea.

I use your mod, I myself would hate to see it die, but I would prefer that then what your proposing. The reason I say this because taking this in the direction you are proposing would only delay whats happening now (this is assuming you get the number of subscribers that you think you would). In time you would get bored with it again, and what happens then? I think the answer is obvious.

In some ways, what you just said is the opposite of the point. Something like this would provide an alternate and consistent motivation regardless of whether I'm bored or not.
