vB Hack of the Month - December!!! [Archive]

Contest Master

11-05-2002, 01:24 AM

Alright, the vB Hack of the Month competition is back up and running!

I've finally gotten permission from Chen to do this. This is probably going to be the last vB HOTM for vB version 2 before vB3 comes out, and the last one for 2002, so this is an important event. ;)

Rules are a bit different to previously - hopefully this new system is a bit fairer.

How it works:

1) You nominate a hack that you feel should win - you can only nominate once.

2) When the same hack gets 2 or more nominations, it goes into the poll at the top of this thread.

3) Once a hack is listed in the poll above this thread, it can start to receive votes from members.

4) When the poll reaches 7 hacks, no new nominations will be accepted.

5) The hack in the poll with the most votes wins - as easy as that (no random draws or anything like that).

6) Votes are counted until the end of November.

7) A previous HOTM winner cannot be nominated again.

8) When you nominate a hack, please include a link to the hack.

9) You are allowed to nominate your own hack.

10) The winning hack gets the HOTM logo at the top of the thread.

Start nominating now! Please don't waste your vote by voting on a blank option - :) - it will be removed.

Remember, this is the last HOTM for a vB hack for vB2... when vB3 comes out, it will be different hacks for a different vB.

May the best hack wins.

The best hack since the start of vBulletin. Teck's vbhome (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36756)

Erwin

11-05-2002, 10:13 AM

vBHome has received 2 nominations - it is up in the poll and can be voted on. No need to nominate it anymore - just vote for it.

Do keep nominations for other hacks coming. :)

Erwin

11-05-2002, 10:16 AM

Also, please don't vote on the blank options. You will just be wasting your vote... as I will remove votes on blank options anyway. :)

If your favorite hack has not been nominated, nominate it now.

vBMicroStats gets 2 nominations, and hence goes up to the Poll, and can be voted on. TECK has the first 2 hacks that has gotten into the poll. :)

Keep nominating, and if you favorite hack is in the poll, start voting!

Well done, light years ahead of vB Portal IMHO, better install instructions, easy to edit to suit your site.

If a hack's up in the poll, no need to nominate it - just vote for it!

Nominate hacks that are not in the poll... we currently have 5 hacks up there. If a hack gets 2 nominations, it goes to the poll, so keep nominating. There is only room for 2 more hacks in the poll! ;) We have until the end of November...

The reasons why Knoman's hack is not up there -

1) No one nominated for it.

2) It's too late for new nominations.

Knoman made the very first RPG stats hack. All other RPG stats hack are spin-offs of his.

Knomans hack was also very basic and also was very limited on uses. That is why i remodeled it and a lot of people like that remodel from what i noticed. I also have totaly scrapped knomans hack's coding for the rpg hack im developing.

I like VBHome Lite : nod :

I think it's great, I've heard so many good things about it, and sign I haven't used any of the other hacks, including this one, I'll still vote for it because of the positive comments I've heard about it....

Do you understand? :P

11-20-2002, 04:15 PM

i vote for Teck's microstats... very useful to the hacker ;) of course vbhome will probably take it but hey Teck deservers the credit :)

Littlebit

11-24-2002, 03:23 PM

I don't use any of the hacks listed to vote on....yet ;)
my question is...what basis is being used to determine hack of the month.
Like the complexcity of the coding, the ease of installing and use without running into complications, the most useful and widely used?
hmm this could turn into a Olympics for coding!
So much great and innovative stuff out there with the need for a medal. ;)

Xenon

11-24-2002, 03:29 PM

well, you can say it's a combination of all.
it depends on the voters, which is worth more

The end of the month is nigh, and TECK looks to be the clear winner so far. :)

11-25-2002, 08:11 PM

Erwin, can you take off a vote from mine, when vB was down I registered a new name thinking someone hacked mine, and I was logged in and then I voted for myself :-/

Can you remove one, it is at 5 I think right now, it should be at 4.

Though I doubt it would matter, lol since Teck has probably won :)
