I know you've replied about not being decided about whether to release the details of hacks with known "back-doors" etc.

However I would like to ask in the strongest possible terms that you do release the information. As you say this is about trust as much as anything else and whilst I can understand it may cause some upset among the coders that coded these hacks however (in this instance) they should not be the primary concern. Especially since it is, to be blunt, their actions that have led to the trust that was built up here being damaged, albeit that I'm sure none of them did it with the intention of causing any such problems.

I strongly believe your primary concern should be in regaining the trust of the vast majority of people such as myself. Many people will lose trust in both vBulletin.org and vBulletin itself (because of the link between the two) if everything isn't not only done to rectify this situation, but also is seen to be done. Transparency, when possible, is always the best way to build trust.

Please give this some consideration.

(Edited to add: I said "back-doors" in the above, I wasn't meaning to imply backdoors into the forums that used the hacks.)

Edit MarcoH64: To make it very clear to others reading this: The current issue does not involve a back-door into your forum! If such a thing would have been the case, we would have reacted stronger.
