Sorry but why such a shame ? This site is not as it used to be anymore and i know tons of people who doesn't visit vb.org anymore ( like me ) I seriously donot want that quality products will be released here and die slowly. I prefer another company purchase the rights of the scripts from Sam or wait him to solve the crisis matter at least 5-6 month. This site is not the old vb.org sorry to tell this but vb.org is dying eacy other day.

It has nothing to do with money in my case. My important case is that there are not enough good coders here anymore. People only care about their release level , admin powers etc... As i stated this site is dying and i don't want Sam's quality mods die with vb.org. This is all my opinion you may feel that vb.org is in perfect condition and i respect that.

That is a very important sentence because it exactly show what is missing here. Community ...


Also I want to explain good coder : There are perfect coders still at vb.org but because of increasing number of support requests etc nobody wants to help anyone else. Most people care about their release level and lots of mods coding standarts are not good.

In vb 3 days my board was hacked to death now i only have couple small mods from here. Because when i check the code i really hesitate to install most of them.

If Sam will release the modifications here what may happen , we must concentrate on that. A un qualified coder will probably take the matter in his/her hands because this code will bring fame to him on vb.org and fame will return money via paid modifications forum. Gars is a really extensive product and it needs to be improved perfectly but our coder will not be able to do that. And soon or later the product will loose all the benefits it gives to users.
