I came here as someone with limited coding experience - through installing hacks and reading the posts, I can now navigate the code dang near blind folded. And while I would be hard pressed to code something from scratch - I can modify confidently and understand what is wrong when something happens - That is what VB.org and its coders have given me. Beyond all the enhancements, beyond all the toys - through your experiences you have made me a better admin.

Thats what everyone needs to remember. Sharing these hacks is important to the development of the Vbulletin community. While you will always have the leeches, you also develop a solid core group of users who will always come back and who will support you in any way they can. Some donate, some help in the bug testing that is so important to making quality hacks and some help by adding on to your hacks - which in the end is better for everyone.

I agree that there needs to be better moderation - either develop it so the coders can moderate thier own threads, and have a site moderator monitor them, or continue down the line they are walking now and just let the chips fall as they may.
