We apologize for the delay, I know we said nominations will open on the 5th but somehow things got busy and we missed it. Sorry. :)

Anyway, to the contest.
This is the time to nominate a hack of your choice. Every hacker must be seconded by at least one other person than him in order to be able to get into the contest.
On the 15th the nomination will be closed, and the staff will select the 5 hackers that are going into the contest. If you didn't get in this time, wait for next month! :)
We will select based solely on how many times the hacker was seconded. Those who were seconded the most will be selected.

Don't forget you can also nominate former-hackers!

Get started please... :D

I would have to say Firefly, and I am not kissing his butt. :D

Reasons:
1) Still active.
2) Most importantly, he ACTIVELY SUPPORTS HIS CODE. He doesn't dump it and run.
3) He can turn out a working hack faster than anybody I've seen.

Amy

I'll second the nomination for Firefly :)

I nominate snoopdogg, I meant tubedogg :)

All of the hackers are really great releasing amazing code, but I must say Firefly.

Agree with amykhar, Firefly is active and support his hacks very well.

I nominate Firefly

I nominate The-Afterburner... he is a good hacker and supports the german vB scene very well :)

I'll second Tubedogg and tenth Firefly. :D

I'll vote for Kier :P

even though he's now a vBulletin developer

I nominate wajones because of his great vBPortal hack, which is still the best VB hack IMHO :D

Hands down I nominate FireFly.

i nominate tubedogg i like his hacks. And he did turn that amazing stars hack. And alot of his hacks of been turned into vB features.

I'd also like to nominate BANE from Talkloud.net vbstats and all his work helping others on other hacks..

I second Bane, cos Firefly's got too many as it is ;)

Seriously tho, Bane does good work :)

FireFly, Tubedogg, Bira...difficult to choose...

But I think FireFly deserves it. I vote for him. ;)

Can i have two votes :confused: pleeeeeeeeeease :D

Kier and Tubedogg - my side kicks :p

The new version, v3, requires a contribution to download while it is in beta. When it is fully released it will be free, just like v2 is right now.

I'll nominate Bira and second Bane. :)

Well, I must decide between tubedogg and wajones...Well, I go for wajones.

Well not to many members know about this guy.

I vote for Stasik

If you only knew the hacks this guy has created.

mmmm

i use vbportal myself and think that wajones is a top man - lubi, i dont think that members wanted wajones to get the award for his vbportal add on which as you mention - you have to pay for.
Lets not forget that he has released around 7 hacks.

but i would like to vote for firefly.
I have installed many hacks and ive had problems with a few.
Everyone will agree that firefly spends a lot of time with the instructions of his hacks to make it easier for all us php virgins to understand.

Also, i think that knoman should get a mention as he has provided a lot of support for his role palying type hack (the one with the colored bars - HP MP Level etc)

Afterburner has my vote.

I nominate PPN, he's been really helpful with making loads of custom hacks for people when they have requested them and I am very thankful for all the hacks he has made for me. He also offers support for them too :)

(sorry to go off topic)

i dont look upon vbportal as a hack, i look upon it as software

do you grudge paying for vbulletin

if i spent weeks or months of my time designing a hack or piece of software then i'd think id charge for it

everybody needs to put bread on the table :D

It's funny when you say somebody does not derseve for a hack that require to pay to get it. You get the blaming, mocking that it's because you can not have it, so you get jealous, mad... blah blah (not obvious though).

FYI, I'm phpportals contributing member, while I agree $35 is totally worth it, I still don't think somebody get hack nomination because of vbportals since it's NOT as the same as other hacks, in term of HOW getting it.

Go back the main topic, I'd nominate PPN, since FireFly and Tubedogg are administrators in this forum, doesn't count :D.

i agree (im a contributing member too)

memnbers should not vote for wajones because of vbportal as it has not been released on vbulletin.org and it is vbulletin.org hacker of the month

let us not forget though that wajones has released about 7 hacks in the forum

Now if we could just get back on topic, Hacker of the Month, it would be great.

It's wajones' right to charge for his software, even though he doesn't require money. You can always get the latest stable release for free.
That's it. Back on topic please. :)
