If someone commits to writing a hack for free for you than you really have no recourse against them if they choose not to.
Everyone has a right to sell hacks and the right to purchase hacks. Doing so does not promote the expansion of the hacking community since those activities are limited to a small group of people.
If this forum was split up into a 'free' section and a 'paid' section than that would almost beg for a competitive hacking site to open up that has a strict no asking for and no selling policy.
It is all moot as I have the feeling that the site will continue on as it is. You can post hacks for sale if you want, right along the free hacks. Hacker X sees hacker Y is making a few bucks so he decides to try it. Hacker Z then sees what is going on so he tries it out. Soon enough, everyone is only offering hacks for money and we have constant arguments over the point of the community. It is no longer a community but a trading post.
It is vb.org, not vb.com.
Paid hacks should be left to private messages and emails.
