vB.org was active when there was a strong community of developers feeding off of each other; now it's a huge portal for people wanting to update their software with "free" stuff and then demanding support because they don't have a clue or are unwilling to spend even a few minutes trying to figure out their own problem.

After a while even the most die hard of coders gives up and just codes for themselves thinking "why bother".

I feel the same way. Just gets really annoying when someone comes into one of my threads and demands support. I had one guy uninstall a hack after asking for help. He waited 10 mins for an answer expecting me to come. After the 10 mins he made a new post and said "Uninstalled". That kind of thing really puts me off releasing hacks here.
