Sorry but I don't use this hack here. I am just pointing out that the author of this hack is not the saint that some think he is.
Encouragement? I gave that over a 6 month period and then just gave up when it was apparent the author in question didn't care.
When you are in a bad personal situation and ask users at your site for help and they come through in spades, you do not then just abandon the site and don't post for weeks/months. At that point, you owe your members a bit more in gratitude - full stop. It doesn't take much to show you care.
Free stuff is great obviously and I agree that there are those who push the boundaries in demanding stuff. However, it is wrong to paint everyone with the same brush. Nothing wrong with not supporting a hack but don't expect it to sit well with people when you goad them with posts and screenshots like you did.
As for some of the vB.org staff poking their heads into this thread: please be a little more careful on how you appear to choose sides when this stuff comes up. Over the years I have pointed out and warned members here about Corey W, Inside The Pixel, and the vBtrader author. In every instance, staff here were quick to defend the hackers as if I had not done my homework and were just posting for the sake of posting. Research my posts here, I'm not a demanding ingrate.
I call them as I see them after a period of time and will continue to do so as long as I still work with vB software.
Cheers,
~Regs.
