I've read all the posts here, it did take me a few hours between other tasks and now I have to say I agree.

Things have changed a great deal in the last 4 years since I became a Jelsoft employee. Originally vBulletin.org was run with an iron fist by Chen, Bira and myself, coders were treated with a high respect by customers since PHP was still this large confusing language that no one knew. The community was also much smaller, a large percentage of the hacks were all written by a handfull of people.

Now in my opinion it seems that vbulletin.org might be a little understaffed from the modifications site and unable to implement all the suggestions that people make and those people who bash coders regardless of what they implement are completely out of order. I think a zero tollerance policy could solve that, though maybe the problem could be the way vbulletin.com sends customers here.

I'll speak to Wayne when I next see him since the majority of the proposed things would need discussion between everyone involved before they were implemented, a chat could be an appropriate starting point between Jelsoft, vBulletin.org staff and the top coders.

Maybe some coder appreciation could be shown with free t-shirts
