(i do not mean to downgrade all the free vb hacks out there)

you can also blame the vb author for selling it for fee even when they have been using other free bulletin boards for one way or another.

If you feel that the "morality" spirit is an obligation then don't release your code. Most people release hacks because they like to help people, not because they feel they have to. I just consider people like you selfish and disgusting (assuming that you don't release your hacks but use other's hacks). That's just my personal opinion, why do you care about it so much?
Oh and by the way, there are free hacks with 1000+ lines of code.
You can't teach a person to be moral, they have to feel like it.
Just imagine if every bulletin board owner thought the same way as you do.
Afterwards, imagine if every bulletin board owner thought the same way as I do.
Which would be better?
