There are some good people on here, but look at the attachments in the following thread, and then tell me that the admins here are always helpful and polite!

I used to have about 30 or so hacks on here, but I removed them all when this site became a dictatorship.


absolutely!

You just never noticed it always ways Just because the names change, the site is no different from when it used to be back in the day. I've been on staff for a considerable ammount of time now, longer than some of our administrators. Realisticly everything is the same management wise. I'd tell you that if you treated chen, or xenon the same way, they'd do the same thing the current staff is doing now.

I'm glad you got off your soapbox. You are also missing my point completely.
My point is that the vB.org team could excel by going the extra mile.
And anyone who things that forum admin don't become dependent upon hacks freely published in here is an idiot. It's that dependency on hacks which is a factor in the success of this forum and vBulletin in general. The popularity of this community and the number of useful (invaluable) free mods is something the vBulletin.com team probably (certainly ought to) consider to be very, very important to the success of their product.
I guess my gripe was mainly at the slapdash way that the vb.org team dealt with the removal of the hacks.

No, he is perfectly correct, it is your responsability for your site, not ours. If you are going to go adding modifications to your site you should well be able to write and fix the code if it causes problems. I'm not the most gifted programmer in the world but I still check releases before installing them and if a problem occurs attempt to fix it myself before coming back to the author. I've never let a single site I run become wholeheartedly dependatnt on a modification. If it disapeared overtime I'd just keep making sure the current one works and if no replacement came, phase it out.

vBulletin.org/vBT was a place once about coders sharing ideas and working together, lately I've noticted its moving away from this, and it deeply saddens me.

We provide the place for you to come and discuss modifications, what you want to discuss and how you use the resource is up to you.
