This is not true. Many "plugins" require you to upload an installer file to run, before being able to use the "plugin".

So you have plugins with no uploads, and plugins with uplaods.

We may also need a 3rd category (no code modification), since many of the hacks in "code modification" contain no code modification. Example, vB Survey, you just upload it, run install, then call the new file survey.php from any template..

So it does not use the new vB plugin system, but it does not require code modification either.

As a user, I would saty away from it, since it's listed as a code modification, and I may prefer not to modify my vB code. This would be misleading to members, since it requires no code modification whatsover, neither to vB, or anything else, yet thay are labeled "code modification".
