Yeah - It's kinda like taking away the kids toy (by recommendation of the FDA of course) without telling the kid that if he bites it, his head may explode... Or in this case - if you don't uninstall it - you could perhaps have some leacherous web trash hacking in to your hard work, exploiting, not giving a damn about the repercussions.
And it's this point alone which would make at least allowing some sort of transparent information share once a thread has been put in the graveyard. Because just slapping a This modification cannot be downloaded. label on the thread without really giving a care for those who might want to promptly uninstall the tainted modification...
IDK... Just seems like an exception to the rule can be made if it goes to benefit the Members of the community. Anyway - without going into detail - I did have to scour the web - finally finding another venue for which to download the modification I had issue with - and me as a licensed member having to go to another vBulletin site in order to download a modification for instructions so that my forum can have no exploits... Well - it seems a bit ridiculous kinda. Perhaps there should be a big bold red note which says Save Your Downloads because You Never Know When It may be Deleted from view. Luckily for my newest forum - I've done just that....
Jacquii.
