I further think that it is the charter of vbulletin.org to help forum owners and leasees make the most out of their boards. Is this done with major addition hacks that have been abandoned?

Yes, I accede that John put out a good product, but it has run its course.

If I remember the definition of defunct, it means no longer in use or is inactive. Well, I think that the activity of questions asking for assistance, questions on use, etc. would go against this definition. There is still life in this and a lot of other modifications. I may be biased with this as I still use v3, but is that not the point? Sometimes a mod is made that is used at first and lost in the shuffle of new mods and then rediscovered. I scan these forums whenever I can and have only gotten back to about 2 years and am still finding stuff to add. Heck, I am starting to look at the vB2 mods because there are some great ones there that do not seem to have made it (officially) to vB3.

Moving to an oldies but goodies forum? Honestly why would vB.org maintain two seperate categories of same-type mods and having to constantly manage them and decide when they are not actively used any more? I know I would not want to do that!

Point here is why even bother with "retiring the old mods"? They are all useful in some fashion. If it is because they have people asking questions and the original author is not responding, maybe others will. If it is not useful for one person, that does not mean it is not useful for another.

Not trying to bust your chops here or anything, just an opinion.
