Hmm.. according to this post you took it down because it was a core vBulletin file that you had edited in some way.

That's not stealing another's code, that's breaking the TOS of both this site and vBulletin Software.

Sometimes heads need to be chopped. Its a shame, but its the truth

There are no waiters or short-order cooks.

Now, imagine you take your dinner to the pot-luck dinner, and out of the 100 people who come, 4 bring food. Most of the other 96 people come and very quietly eat some of the food and leave. A few smile and say thank you. And, because it's a church and you have some food there, you really don't mind.

A few people who don't cook try to help out. They wash dishes, and pick up the trash. They help the small kids and older people who can't fill their own plates. They try to add something to the party.

But, 2 or 3 of the people who don't bring food start asking for stuff that isn't there. And, they get angry when you won't dish out their plates and serve them at their table. And, they yell at the people who did cook and tell them that the food is no good and it would be much better if you served steak instead of baked beans.

Those 2 or 3 people are far from the majority, but they certainly aren't much incentive for the 4 people who were willing to share their food to do so again.
I just had to quote this as I think it's pure brilliance.
Easily one of the best analogies I have read around these parts.

First of all I would like to say thanks for taking action. It's most appreciated.
But I do have to state one thing: It would be nice if we could hear a little more than "changes will be implemented". All we've heard is "the hack db is coming" but thats about it. Any attempts to re-kindle it gets the thread locked (seperate thread that is).
What I would like is to hear a little more details. Specifically, a what and a rough when.

I applaud changes being made (if they are for the better )

If you always do what you did, you will always get what you got.

Given that you would possibly be looking at a cost/benefit or risk/reward analysis of what's 'most right' for vB.org... radical would, in my humble opinion, seem to be the most pragmatic approach here...

I can't give details as the discussion is still going on. It may require a change of staff. It will take a lot of time and effort. It may involve many people. Really, until we sort it out for ourselves, I can't really tell you much more.

To be serious on the matter, aside from hot camels, I am compelled to agree with Amy and with good reason too. She makes a very good analogy. I will provide my hacks for free and if people don't like it, I will assume there's something better they can purchase elsewhere - which is fine by me, I'm happy I can help someone out that can't afford to pay, such as myself.

and rest assured, you and coders like you, are very much appreciated by me and people like me, who can't afford to pay for hacks.
God bless you sweetie
