That's exactly what I've been saying, you pay the money and all of sudden they throw you under the bus. I've been there, I learned my lesson. Therefore, I will not buy too many Mods this time, I will try to use most of UNA native Mods instead since I know they will keep maintaining their Mods. Even if I have to pay a reasonable yearly service fee, it is worth it.  For instance, take a look at the big social networking sites like FB & Twitter, anyone can create similar platforms, right,  but what made them successful is not just hosting a website and let it run on its own, but rather they raised enough capital to hire engineers & developers in order to maintain & support their platform. Running a website without support is just like a bomb waiting to explode.  Yes, learning new programming skills is a great idea, let me know when you create a cool Mod, I will buy it from you :)   

thank you, I think I could be good at it because I can read code
