Thats just plain right stupid.

It's not bull++++, if you want to have a certain hack so badly then just learn some php and create it yourself using your own codes and techniques. Releasing work without the author's consent is laziness and disrespectful if you ask me. I'd like to think you'd feel the same way if you're a respected hacker who created a good amount of hacks around vb.org, only to have people, which some of them don't know exactly what to do, modifying your scripts and calling it their own. If you ask me thats bull++++.
