vb.org is owned by Jelsoft. It is designed as a hacking source of vbulletin community. However it does not mean that Jelsoft is behind all hacks in vb.org. They just provide a community to vbulletin world so that vbulletin users can use it for hacks. Thus the hacks and communication here flows from vbulletin users, not from Jelsoft.

As far as I know phpbb community has a very strict control over its hacking world. This is not the case in our community. Everyone here can and welcomed to release a hack without asking anybody (provided that hack code belongs to him). This approach makes sure vbulletin has the largest hacking community among its rivals.

In other words Jelsoft and vb.org administration (who are volunteer hackers, not Jelsoft employees) just put some general policies about this site (like we don't allow paid hacks here) and except that vbulletin members have great freedom in their hacking experience in this site. Hack authors own the hacks they released, they are free to support or NOT support their hacks, they can release as many hacks as they like, all vb license owners have full access to thousands of hacks here etc.
