I find that a stupid price..... Makes it almost totally pointless to a certain extent. "Here, you can hear about this really cool device, but we can't show you pics." <--- See, pointless....

I totally disagree with removing the actual file. Some people might use an old hack as a "starting" ground to an new one.... Or just use it to learn. They still have a valuable use even though they are archaic.

Again, the hack removal is either

• Asked for by the hack author
• removed by the staff for security reasons

The hacks have not been removed because there old
its cause theve been asked for or the staff felt it safer for you to
have them removed.

Not much more i can say to explain it really.

Wether you like it or not, a modification is copyrighted to the author, and if he wants to have his modification removed, then there is nothing we can do but to remove it. The thread discussing the modification is however "Public Property" and will be shown in the Graveyard.

Sometimes we even get self important enough around here to just call it 'the org', as if org couldn't be anything but vbulletin.org. ;)
