If you are not going to port this hack to vB3, wouldn't the "polite" thing be to release it for modification by someone else?

I know the hours spent to create this hack, and believe me, the community knows that it is fortunate to have creative, generous and skilled hackers like yourself. And I can find no justification for people "demanding" that you spend your time the way that they see fit. In my mind, no one is under any obligation on these forums to "port" their hack to vB3!

And I'm certainly not "demanding" that you respond to the emails requesting to modify your hack with the proper credit given.

However, while it is obviously "your baby" if you aint'a gonna rock it, why not let others have a turn? They say it takes a village to raise a child. And I'd love to see your great hack grow up with all the rest of the kids.

Ryangel's last post was like in November of 2003...so they may not be around...

I thought someone was working on this hack for vb3...? Maybe that was a different version I was looking at...

There was a discussion by Bradloo of porting this to vB3, but he decided not to release it.

There was a vB3 journal released by Wonko of Shinra (the thread you highlighted), but it was deleted by the admins because of permissions problems. He stated he emailed Ryangel for permission but evidently has received no response.

KuraFire planned to release a vB3 journal, but has since decided not to post more hacks on this board.

So, without some public acknowledgment from Ryangel that he grants permission for others to upgrade his journal to vB3, it looks like this wonderful mod will remain forever an obsolete vB2 mod.

What a pity, uh?

yep :(

There's nothing stopping someone else making one. So why is the future so bleak.

LOL I hope someone takes a crack at it... ;)

Fleabag,

Could you clarify how one gains permission to port this hack to vB3 if Ryangel does not respond to emails requesting permission?

I'm sure there is a standard procedure...I'm just not aware of exactly how that works.

Thanks

Not to be a pain or anything but Ryangel responded to a question by me way back https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=87 saying it would be fine to modify the code provided it's documented so why can't this vB3 update be released

I dont think anyone knew about that post.

Ahh that would probably explain it, I only remember cause I asked at the time.
