Umm what about Freddie's post?

It would be best if you do that so that it will reduce the stress on you and let yourself focus on your new hack instead of deal with people here.

Just a thought.

Fair enough. No more screenshots :banana:

/me points out once again that he's not selling the hack, but rewarding people who have already supported him.

If Amy wants to debate with me on whether or not hacks should be free, I am up for it, but not in this thread.

I appologize if I insulted you, john, your Tetris hack is great, but I am sure you understand where I am coming from.

I think we all know what the real problem attitude is, right Ninth?

I'm 100% behind you John (maybe in front of you as well, when the bullets start flying)

Hey, you ain't paid me yet??? :D

LMAO!!! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2002/08/2.gif

This whole thread has got me interested in Flash and ActionScripting myself...hell, this is how I learned VB, VC++, PHP, Perl, Java, JavaScript, etc. ad infinitum...by doing what I needed to be doing for my business.

Hats off to John for this...I was thinking of doing this myself once I downloaded his Tetris hack, but if he is going to do the Arcade I am surely not going to duplicate it...

People: either donate to the hack or build it yourself. No more complaining, please...life ain't a free ride. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2002/08/1.gif

Or donate to me! - what a hack would do with donations I'll never know! ;) :D :banana:

Boy, this thread sure went off since I last saw it.

I think that John is free to sell his work if he'd like, and it has been done before on vb.org so it's not like it's something new (for example, Overgrow's original Karma hack). In fact, there are people here who sell their "vB Modification Ability" to others, essentially becoming freelance vBulletin hackers.

The license agreement, I believe, covers the modification and redistribution of the actual vBulletin code itself. Since I hack like this is really a complete add-on using the existing codebase, it should be perfectly legal to re-sell.

That being said, I don't like the idea of selling hacks, and I don't see what the big deal is. I've had a working arcade on my forum for two or three days now. The only thing I am missing is more games (like the ones John has) that work with the system. I could release MY arcade hack, but without more games, it is basically just a different version of John's Tetris hack. Plus, since I started over from scratch, the database structure in mine is completely different from the Tetris hack, and the two are no longer compatible.

Anyway, I guess my point is/was, it's not worth fighting over.

As soon as I have enough for a new licence and a digital camera, I'll do a public release :)
