View Full Version : The Future of Hacks
In the current stat of vb there and many many hacks, which each time become more and more dynamic and complex. For every new idea 3 more pop up and are made. There are a few ideas for dynamic extreems which I will not state due to it being made, released, and used within a week. As we make more hacks and the script kiddies use them... they ask for me, as do us hackers... eventually the hack that are made will have to be god like compaired to now.... so my question is, "What do you see in the future for hacks?"
As for me..... Go to cybertown.com and look at their 3D java chatroom.

obviously php has its limitations but as long as people require hacks I'm sure that someone will have the expertise to create them.
true, but I am sure java will come into the hack sometime... and maybe vrml, vxml, flash :china:, and so on..

Of course, because we not only want to improve our boards - we want to push the limits.
But there always is a final limit... one that cannot be passed unless new technology is made... and once that has been hit... no more will forums be as dynamic as they should.

To be honest I'm much more concerned about the near future of the hacks. As vB3 is around the corner (not really, but it'll be there eventually), most (I guesstimate we're talking about at least 90% of the) hacks will not work on it, and will need to be totally re-written. That's what I'm truly worried about...
yes, I have thought about that aswell. But that is why I am working on a project thats does not need to be in any vb files only the db which is easy to fix.... but I think many people will stay with 2.2.2 untill many new hacks are made..... I guess i could eadit a few other 500 + hacks here....

I know I'll be converting all my hacks to v3, it will probably take a few days though while I get familar with the new layout of the code. Though Chen has an unfair advantage having access to CVS :(
:( yeah I know... but he has twice and much as you do.

im lookin forward to vb3, right now i only work on hacks for my board that i know wont be in vb3 and that shouldnt be so hard to modify. as far as i understood vb3 will become sort of a portal script, or thats atleast what i understood after reading the sitepoint interview.

I think vb3 should contain all the hacks that are currently made..
lol, maybe not a good idea, but it would be cool!!

than there should be extra hacks made, that you have to install your self, like new hacks!! all the hacks currently made should be already installed in vb3 and you have to install the hacks that come out after vb3 is out!!

and there should be a option in admin cp to pick which hacks to use and which not to use.. so everyone can be happy

Interesting question. Many things are simply done and redone in this world. Hacks being one of those things. Hacking has been around for a long time. I remember the WWIV bulliten board system back in the 80's and all the hacks which were made and installed to users who purchased the C++ source code.
The future of hacks is simply the desire of the people... Anythings is possible, dreams come true :)

The only hacks I care about are the store, arcade, and shoutbox. And if those people plan on charging money for those hacks then I'm sticking with vb 2.3.0 until I'm dead.

vbulletin.org does not allows hack to be charged, all hacks that are posted here are free, and I am very sure this will apply to vB3 as well. There are hundreds of people making hacks, I am sure more than one personw ill make a same major hacks, given thats there are so many differnet kind of store, arcade, and shoutbox.

personaly i feel people should be trying to make hacks that dont need to edit vb files, just run off there database when ever there able to because it save people having to install hacks everytime they need to update the board to the latest coding.
Thats why my vb3 messanger hack was let to be posted on here because it dont edit the vb3 files or database just adds a few tables to the database.

heh, no its because it was the first, i posted my chat here too, and guess what, it worked with NO file edits, just ONE template and tis still in the trash sir :)
not EVERYTHING can be done outside of vb. esp when adding functionality
