[Tralala]

Okay, now let me get this straight. There's tension here, JumpD decides to take his (very popular) hacks down, but leave the support threads up for the benefit of his current users. (Allow me to add that JumpD consistently does a great job of supporting his hacks, answering nearly every question with calm attention.) Those threads were invaluable to me, and I'd review them regularly. To learn.

Less than 12 hours later, a mod deletes all of these threads. Without JumpD's request or knowledge.

Yes, I know that vB.org "policy" is that hack threads with no attachments be removed after a certain period of time to to quell confusion. But that "period of time" sure as hell is a lot longer than a few hours.

C'mon, the mod who removed these threads has an axe to grind, and his own ego to boost. He's trying to show JumpD that he's "the man." Or he's just not thinking. His actions insult the coder, and remove a valuable community resource (the threads themselves, and effectively, the coder as well.)

It's disgraceful and immature behavior. I'm new here and this is really pissing me off. I spent a lot of money for vBulletin, strictly because of what this community had to offer. More importantly, I spend many, many, many hours a day obsessing over my forum and my community, administering and improving it, and this forum gives me the tools to make that time count. It impacts my business and it impacts my "real life." There are mods here who are destroying that fabric with their silly, high school-like antics. I expect forum mods (especially at a forum filled with other forum mods) to be able to take a step back, and look at situations from a macro level. Deal with these issues with patience and consistency. And not react with a knee-jerk on the "delete" button because a coder (or in this case, many coders) is having a bad day. The thread deletion here was an act of retaliation, not forum moderation. We're not stupid, and this is absurd.

And Boofo, seriously, enough with the winks.
