I know as well as any that running a forum (after 7 years of doing it for a living) requires a mammoth amount of political consideration and diplomacy, and you certainly can't please all the people all the time.
It is how well you look after your members that differentiates between 'a forum' and 'the one people have real loyalty to'.
It's easy for the admin and mods here to say 'well this is a platform for people to share hacks/mods for vbulletin and we don't get involved beyond that'.
However, I think the vB.org team have more of a responsibility to maintain a consistency of service from mod developers to mod users.
E.g. would the vb.org team allow a member to provide lots of buggy, poorly supported hacks without getting involved?
So it's easy to wash your hands of the situation when a developer withdraws his mods.
However, I believe that to be truly great, the vb.org team should, in such circumstances, endeavor to replace those needed hacks.
Otherwise, members like me are left up the creep without a paddle.
