All that reminds me of is a little kid who does not get their way and picks up all their toys and goes home. I would expect such actions from my 5 year old yes but from adults or those who wish to have respect given to them?

Our code, contributed freely, is the only power we have. When negotiations break down, and nothing changes over a considerable amount of time, and coders are treated with disrespect by staff, what else is there to do?

There should have been a better way to get the ?attention? craved or needed, perhaps stop all support of your current hacks

That was my proposal. And yes, there should be a better way.

If it was about being noticed, I am sure this post I am making will get no attention due to I am nothing but a person who uses the scripts and have yet to release any making me as one coder so nicely called a ?user?.

It's not a question of whether we need users - of course we do. But this is a hack site. Without hacks it's just a site. The users will go where the free hacks are.

I think its time people grow up and try a more civil and mature way of resolving a conflict when they arise.

I agree.

So far the only ones who will be hurt in this is the every day member such as myself and even if all the coders do leave that will leave room for those who have yet to release to release and get all popular till they crave the money over the community and have it all happen again in 2 years.

Maybe. That's what many of the staff sure seems to think. vb.org is eternal! vb.org will live forever! We don't need you, we'll grow more.

A little arrogant if you ask me.
