You know...between the endless betas of vB3 and the disarray about permissions over mods, IPB is looking better everyday!

And, I don't give a rat's behind which sycophant jumps in to defend vB...I'm annoyed, frustrated and I'm sure as hell not the only one!

As suggested in another post to me, I PM'd the original "owner" of this mod about his/her intentions to port this to vB3. "Yes," they replied, "but it won't be me doing it, it will be ______." So, I kept checking back for progress...and nothing, nada, zilch!

Since the code for the original mod is now obsolete for vB3 that means coding changes had to be made. At what point...and in whose judgment enough changes are ever made to designate it an original mod, I don't know. I'm not in favor, of course, of not giving credit where it is due, but isn't "credit" enough?

If someone does not "grant permission" for others...ever...which, I am assuming is their "right" (no matter how much the original code must be altered)...then I suppose some mods will not only never get ported to vB3...they will never get ported to 4, 5 or 6!

I'd rant some more, but I've gotta get outside and take the tires off my car, because after all, I don't think Goodyear invented the wheel!
