Aren't there some addons that come with wowroster? Madeby, for instance, I thought came with it, and in the Madeby discussion, I think it says this.

But I downloaded 1.7.2 and my addons directory contains only a file called "roster_add_ons_go_here" (or something like that).

Do I need to download every addon that I want? That's fine if that's the case, I just wanna be sure I'm not doing something wrong.

No you're right : you have to upload all addons you want in this directory

Yep, as of Roster 1.7.2, no addons are included since we have been getting alot of topics in the General help forum about addons

Can you provide me a link to where you saw that made by was included, I'd like to update the info

It was a post in the madeby forum, dated last July. So it was probably true when it was written.

Yep, it would have been true then
