Well, I think this thread is about over now..
All opinions reflected in these comments do not reflect the opinions of WA or PHPPortals.com or it's members.
Ok, now that the disclaimer is out of the way, I think some fundamental things should be covered.
Yes,
I was directing my comments to the people who feel with vbPortal, or any other hack, that is their right to have it and be supported as much as they want. Hacks are a priveledge. If someone writes a hack and they feel they want to share it with the public, then you should feel lucky that they took their time and effort and decided to let you use it. They do not owe you anything, in fact, it is you that really owe them.
Sorry, for the tirade and this will probably be my last post in the thread. This subject as you can tell has hit a nerve with a lot of people and rightfully so.
