It is vbulletin.org policy not to have a release thread with no modification files in the release forums after a certain length of time. Otherwise, the thread would be continually bumped by users asking what happened to the release and/or coder, and the forum would be much harder to navigate through with many "dead releases".


We try our best.. However, after recent events certain things will be reviewed.

I cannot comment too much on this for obvious reasons..


This is pretty much the main reason why the policy on "dead releases" exists.

There are innevitably going to be unsupported releases with the files still present that result in the same scenario, and hopefully we as a community can take a look at this and change things for the better.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, jesus! This is frickin BS. Dangit. JumpD has helped me so much, you wouldn't even know. Someone better get this undercontrol....please?

Its out of control, sadly enough its a cycle people come, people go. Everyone will just have to live with it and move on. Blasting the staff telling them they arent helping the situation is useless, as it doesnt help the situation at all either. I'd imagine the only way anything will be able to get done is go straight to vBulletin, but even then thats probably not going to do much good :-\

He made some of my Favorite Mods. :(

Did someone really say that?

If so why do i release...

Also i have noticed that there is like 1 hack released everyday now (if its a good day)... When it used to be 6+ a day.

I wasn't blasting, only crying :/

I know, i wasnt saying anyone in particular. but if you read some of these posts some people are making its rather apparent. Sorry if you thought it was at you

NP, ;)

Yeah? What length of time is that, then? I sure as hell hope its longer than 12 freakin' hours. In fact, I'm sure it is, because I've seen forgotten hacks fester for weeks here, attachments removed, naive newbies wondering WTF is going on.

My point is, JumpD did not request that these release threads be taken down. He removed the attachments while he took a breather, with the explanation linked above.

A mod then took it upon himself to remove the threads in the meantime. For what? A some show of oneupmanship? This accomplishes nothing to quell the tension around here. In fact, it reinforces it. Some of the mods are making this personal.

I think this is the sort of behavior that is frustrating users and coders alike.

How long is "after a certain length of time"? Apparently, a matter of hours?

Uh, so why not just lock the threads/archive 'em?

The behavior and attitudes on both sides of this issue are disgraceful. So a talented coder gets pissed off at one frustrated staffer's tactless comment and retaliates by harming the entire community, including people who have thanked and supported him. Then the mods immediately yank his threads to eliminate all traces of the guy, even though the very software they're supporting includes a very easy solution to prevent the terrible "bumping" feature.

Is this Jelsoft or Junior High? C'mon guys, you're all better than this bushwah.
