I'll chip in a few cents too

I've been running vBulletin for about three years now.
The support on Vb.com is excellent. Bugreports are always attended within a few hours and you'll always get an answer.
It's pretty recent that I wanted to upgrade my board with a few of the hacks that hang around here. I started lurking here about 1,5 years ago and it's just recently that I post a bit more. Help where I can or just be amused by some threads.

As for coders go: there are some that are extremely helpfull, but there are some that never look in one of their hackthreads ever. Mostly that is solved because someone else posts the sollution for a problem. Sometimes it's not and did I have to uninstall an otherwise nice hack, because I couldn't get it running.
There are also some coders who have, as we say in the Netherlands, "long toes". They get agrevated when there are to many complaints. Well it's only human, but to place people on a ingnorelist in stead of finding a sollution is a bit brute, isn't it?

As for people that are asking questions, they realy should read a thread or use the "Search in thread function". To many time I see the question "Does this work on vB 3.5.3". Answer, "Yes it does". Than three posts further on someone else asks "Does this work on 3.5.3?" Shoot! The answer is just above his post, but he clearly didn't make an effort to read the thread before asking. That tips me off, sorry

So I think it's something both sides have to work on. I myself think this is an excellent forum with excellent hacks and reasonable support. Just what I could aspect from people who are doing this for a hobby
