ArchivePage
Price: 50
Author: Andy Newby
This plugin will let you do 2 things: 1) Make a static version of your forums/categories/posts, with SEO URL's being used. 2) Do the same as '1', but run it dynamically via a .cgi script. This makes it easier for search engines to find the relevant pages on your forum!

DeleteOldDetailed
Price: Free
Author: Andy Newby (Ultranerds)
This is a simple plugin, which hooks in on the delete_link hook, and removes the detailed page for you, in question. May not work with non-standard build formats (works with ID.html, but not something_name_ID.html).
GetScreenshot
Price: $300
Author: Andy Newby (Ultranerds)
This plugin uses a tool called "khtml2png". This is a UNIX based program, which uses an X-Server to grab screenshots of website, listed in your LinksSQL directory. Please note, X-server and khtml2png are REQUIRED for this plugin. If its not working on your server to start with, we can NOT be held responsible for installing it / setting it up correctly for you (if you need help with the plugin itself, then thats fine ... but the system services must be running correctly). Please check with your host, before purchasing this plugin. Thanks :)
GroupMod
Price: Free
Author: Gossamer Threads Inc.
Adds "Group moderators" to Gossamer Forum. Group moderators are able to change the group members of any group(s) they moderate.
Limit_Links_Add_Pro
Price: $40
Author: Andy Newby (Ultranerds)
The idea behind this plugin, is that you can limit how many links a user can add. This "PRO" version lets you limit people even more. Example, 1 link every 7 days; or 5 links every 30 days, etc. VERY handy for adult sites, where you get a lot of spam submissions.
