While I agree that the mod, itself, belongs to the author (always) and that work can be withdrawn at his or her choosing... that ownership should not extend to everyone else's posts submitted to the related support thread...... which also becomes a discussion thread of it's own. The rest of "our" posts either belong to us or to the vBulletin.org site, depending on whatever it says in the terms for this site.

On another issue... what good does it do any of us if it's okay for someone to release a hack one day and then wipe out the entire thread whenever they want to? Isn't it in our better interest as a hacking community to encourage the coders willing to leave behind their body of work if they decide they don't want to keep doing it ... and be less encouraging to those who think it's okay to yank out chunks of our hack forum if they get mad at someone and decide they want nothing more to do with this place?
