I know you miss it
 

Lets reminisce for awhile...

wtf is that? looks like someone ripped vbulletin.org ;)

yea i miss that old hack system... i guess the admins are lazy to make it? (not meaning in a rude way) ..

maybe we can get a group of people to make a hack db for vbulletin.org? i dont really like the current system..

Its not that we are lazy, we just don't see the point in making one because the forums serve the same purpose and don't require tons of work from the end user to get listed in the hack database. I guess no one remembers having to enter the thread into for the hackdb when posting under the old system? No matter how nice it looked to the end user it was still a mess >)

who said you needed a thread to add a hack? the hack db would have its own post.. people would be able to add comments right in the hack db.. kind of like the bug tracker at vb.com..

I don't see much wrong with the current setup we're using in all honesty.

I'm a user that rarely bothered looking in the hack database anyway, as Brad said - authors had to check a box in their thread to say that they wanted their mod to feature in it, and by relying solely on the hack database you were missing out on many great mods that hadn't been added.

the current setup isn't all that bad.. but it'll be nice to have an archive to be able to better search the hacks.. right now finding hacks can be a pain.. like to see all hacks from all time you have to select "show all threads" from the menu to go back further..

Personally, I hated the Hack DB. It doesn't have any real advantages over the current system, and it was a +++++ to deal with.

To me it just seemed easier to search in than the way it is currently. But that's just my two pence.

Oddly enough, same here - I'd have the hack db back any day ;)

Satan

I don't remember that colour scheme, but I'm glad I missed it .......
