fully hacked vb?
 

Is there a hacked vb3 to download that has the popular ones, like portal, etc...

There's no such thing I believe. Even if there was, I don't think that it would be allowed.

there was a discussion about this but nothing came of it, i wish we had something like that:(

the "all bundled vB" subject was debated long time ago... some years back i can tell...

this would be illegal, as it was illegal for phpBB and IPB and other big boards... because each hack is released by its coder/developper, and is supported by this own coder. giving a fully loaded board would mean that someone give support to all the hacks integrated, breaking the copyright of each hack added...

there will never be a fully hacked board anyway, because Jelsoft will never release such a version... they release the only software you can download bundled, vBulletin itself, and you as the owner, have the capability to add the hacks you really need.

this is not really my 2cents, it's the opinion of Jelsoft and many other projects.. they all give that opinion, because each time someone suggest the fully hacked version, they give the same answer...

I think you can ask to someone to hack your vbulletin !

hacks are not really one-size-fits-all, kinda things.

I would think that very few boards with more than 5 hacks have the same 5 hacks installed.

Probably your best bet. Just find out all the hacks you want installed list them and ask someone to do it for you.

why would anybody want to hack somebody elses forum for them without any form of payment?

Some do it for fun or on principle. However, most would require some compensation.

Because hacking into vB forums is fun! :banana:

I'd think it'd be illegal to distribute modded vBulletins, since that's still distributing a vBulletin to others :)

Anyhow, mod your own! :)

Someone could, with mod author permission, make an instruction file (TXT, like all vB mods) with instructions on how to make certain mods compatible....but vB has so much in it already...

I don't actually think payments been mentioned. I would assume somesort of payment would be arranged between the parties involved but it would depend on the hacks required. Hense why I said draw up a list.

Also the main reason people don't have a modded vB package is that most sites need different things. While I might love the journals other site would rather have the vbgarage while some will want both. So you'd have about 40 packages and they still wouldn't fit everyones wants :(

You'll also find vB tends to add the things most used to the next version of vB until then we added hacks as required :D

All the mods? i would NEVER want all the mods ereleased here, most are sorta specific.

I can't think of too many good hacks that will clash with any other hack.

I suggest you pay a web programmer/designer to purchase, install, design, and hack a vbulletin site for you.

There are plenty out there ... just look around.
