Rebuttal: One-dimensional, elitist thinking. The site exists for more than just hack-distrubution, and releasing hacks isn't the only valid way to contribute.

Rebuttal: Don't read them.

Rebuttal: Good-bye.

Rebuttal: At the expense of the rest of the community; grow-up.

With rebuttals like that its obvious you don't want to be convinced, as you suggest. Only your first two rebuttals were even valid. Why don't you just leave it at you would like the coders forum to be open instead of turning everyone's thread into your personal anti-coders forum soapbox. One post about it was enough, or do you figure the constant annoyance by one person will make up for the lack of support/interest by others?

Now, do you have any other suggestions for the site/thread?
