I don't see any harm in leaving old mods on the site so long as people realize that they come with ZERO support.

Hah, I'm pretty sure my /me hack is from the oldschool vb2 release as well.

I don't recall a "vote" per se (or being asked) if I wanted my old mods archived, and I don't see the harm in letting people have access to them. Just stick a no-support announcement in those forums and be done with it.

Edit:

A good example is this one:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61424

This does work on at least 3.7.x, because it still works on the last forum that I ran. I'd love to put it on my new venture, but alas, the file is unavailable.
