It's not the same. You and I don't come here to chat and post only. The main purpose of vb.org is to serve as a central point for release software modifications, the work of many authors.

You are entitled to suggest that authors should have no say about their work, I just think it's wrong, and the more it's done, the more it will reduce the quality of work being released.

even though this is a hacks community it isnt a public forum just as vb is viewable source not gnu. they can discuss what you said in private as all the same arguments have been done most likly..

Not sure what GNU has to do with this.

So why be so secretive to hide the reason for such a "rule" change?

Forum mods don't usually have to go in these circles trying to justify why the rules are being changed, yet can't say why, then try different reasons, like bandwith, yeah, that's the ticket.
