you get what u pay for - in some cases u dont.
As for the hacks in the $50-$60 bracket - most of them are not full blown hacks ,most just want simple coding.I asked for a hack for canned messages and got it done for $25 - how much would you of charged.Also i think this board is moving more towards charging members for hacks as lets face it there is nothing much decent released these days so people are forced to pay even for the simplest tweaks..In the old days hacks there where decent hacks released every day,but i can come on here after being away a week and nothing new hardly been released.If you want something then im afraid in this day and age,you have to pay for it.
Go on other board software such as PHP boards etc and the hacks are simple jumping out at you and your not short of what u can get.Seems the crappy boards have all the best hacks for free and the good boards have to pay for them.
