Jelsoft was a company, too; and from the outside it would seem one that was doing very well for itself. Did you expect to be paid from the beginning when you started coding hacks? No. Why should that change with ownership of the company?
You own your "hacks"; if someone came along and bought them from you would those who posted in your hack thread deserve a piece of the action? No.
I wouldn't hold you breath expecting any form of compensation - if you thought the time you were spending was vesting yourself in the company you should have asked for something in return up front.
