I probably wouldn't regularily post regarding this... But I would like to share my opinion in this matter...

Sure.. I will agree that upgrading with hacks can be a pain in the ass.. I don't deny that... But hey.. What can you do? If you need to upgrade to fix bugs.. then you need to upgrade.. Would you rather your board crash or not function properly because vB didn't want to release a new version so soon? Of course not.. You would be a lot more frustrated then...

I think that the upgrades are a good thing.. it lets you know that even after the product is released.. they are still making adjustments and making the board better than it already is...

As it has been pointed out many times.. you choose to install the hacks yourself.. not vb.. Sooner or later you know taht you are going to have to upgrade your board.. Sure.. you might lose your hacks.. but you can get it back.. granted that it may take a while.. BUT AT LEAST YOU WILL GET THEM... Its better than nothing isn't it???

If you look in one of the forums. i belive that it is the Full Releases.. They even tell you which files were modified so that it would make it EASIER for you to replace/fix the hacks... Did they have to do that? No.. they didn't.. they did that for us.. because they realize that we do put a lot of time into putting hacks on our board. and they are trying to help us out.. Then when you complain about it.. Don't you think that they may feel a little frustrated that they did something to help.. and all you did was complain?

This is my opinion on this.. and I realize that I open myself to criticism.. But I wanted to let you all know how I feel..

Thanks...
