Is hacking worth it?
 

I hacked the version right before the newest to see another one come out.. Now with 3.? due around the corner whats the use? I think it would be too hard to keep upgradeing and saving all the hacked stuff so you would just start all over again.....

I guess it depends on the person. Personally , I love the feeling of hacking :D

With every hack it seems you learn a little bit more about vb and some of it's ways. That helps to add things that you want that aren't already there yet. That's how it keeps growing. :)

That's one reason why not many big hacks are being released... I guess most people are waiting for 3.0 to be released. :)

personally i can't agree... with my recent private text messages 1.0 version released i wouldn't call that small ;) and with my warnings hack and total time online coming up in the next few days they'll both be nice sized hacks (hopefully popular ones too)

anyways im always striving to become a better hacker... i really like hacking so i wouldn't wait for vb3 :p but it does look nice :)

I started a year ago. I didn't know PHP, MySql, or HTML, really...I had been programming all of my career, in mainframe languages, and recently in the past few years, Java, to some extent. Formally, I'm a Sr. Systems Engineer, but thats really just a title for old mainframe dinosaurs that no one has the mercy to tell them they are extinct...

Well, I can tell ya now, I LOVE THIS STUFF!! As said before, each time one plays, one gains a deeper understanding and view of things. Thru PnG, I have become somewhat skilled, even to the point of planning and creating some hacks on my own!

I end up changing alot of the hacks I get. Not because they are borken, but more so to fit in wif some of the others I haev applied. Sometimes, a hack needs adjustment to fit my styles, whatever the reason, I usually am only annoyed by the fact that I never seem to get enough time to "hack", and do it the way I want !! (Ask my wyfe, she never see's me any where other than my desk)

So, when 3.0 hits the streets, yes, I will begin again. And I'll love it!

Peace, and Cheers, everyone !

...to become a better hacker... << ???

You're one of the best hackers here [there's a lot of great hackers here and you fit right in with them]

Your hacks are a lot of use to me and you're also taking up my request :)

Most of your hacks have no bugs which is also a very big plus point.

I love hacking, I have over 50 hacks installed and around 200 template modifications?

I wait till vb3 is released. I have great ideas for new hacks but i wait, it will spare me alot of time. ;)
