Yeah - I suppose once the fury dies down - noone will care about Boofo's removed hacks or whatever. And yes - there was quite a bit of strong-worded adjectives and nouns being thrown around in previous threads. You do realize though the topic is obviously on the minds of more than a few. From reading the comments made, emotions just had to come out, less someone's head blow up LOL

I do wonder if there can be some type resolution or change in policy as far as Modificaton authors being able to simply yank their mods away with absolutely no regard for those who have downloaded them. And likewise maybe at least some sort of information-share from vBulletin.org for those who have clicked "Installed" -- I thought a recent post was interesting because a vB.org Member presented a scenario in which a modification had been graveyarded and a Member who had download/installed the modification prior to the graveyarding wants to uninstall the product correctly with no hassle. He asked how would he do that if he couldn't reference the information that was in the longgone file attachment.

At anyrate..... Yes - we know that valued Members of vBulletin.org have shared their modifications freely. Thanx for the sharing! I know my forum has benefited immensely from the sharing and I appreciate it greatly.

I think at some point though - You have to understand though that putting the This modification cannot be downloaded - it is available for information purposes only. label on a modification offers no information at all and can sometimes be quite infuriating.

I don't know... Sticky situation...

Jacquii.
