The Philosophy of Hanging out at Vbulletin.com and Vbulletin.org and even VBT

[amykhar]

Another conversation starter. How do you feel about people who publish hacks or offer support on the Vbulletin boards but who do not provide a link to their own board?

I have always felt a mild distrust towards the people who do not proudly display their site because I see it as sort of their resume. If their board is buggy or bad, I am not as likely to have faith in code they release.

Now, I understand people have a variety of reasons for not publishing thier links and I am not asking anybody to defend that choice. This is just a conversation starter on people's perceptions about the more "secretive" board admins.

Perhaps it also has something to do with the fact that pirates seldom have links to their boards in their profiles. I know the permission system means that anybody releaseing hacks isn't a pirate now, but there is still a bit of distrust remaining.
