Everyone seems to be jumping the gun here. Nothing has been set up as far as commercial hacks being allowed here in any way whatsoever. This is a debate/discusssion. When and if that day ever comes, I'm sure there will be a lot more discussion on the subject.
- How many of you run your vb boards with adsense, or some other form of donation/advertising/sponsors system and make something ( doesn't have to be much, but something ) out of it.
- How many of you use free hacks to better your site
- How many of you think that because of these free hacks implemented on your boards, your site offers your members and target audience better resources to want to visit/stay/participate/invest/sponsor/donate.
- How many of you would actually recipocrate the benefit you receive ( monetary or otherwise ) to the hack authors who put in countless hours of time, effort and foregone opportunity cost to provide these free hacks and support them to the best of their abilities.

No sponsors or advertising on my site.
Yes, I use free hacks.
I could offer gold nuggets and that won't change the fact that the male Admin on my site is a loser.
And if I could afford it, I would send me a check every week.
exactly thats part of my problem with this whole crap. I dont really get respect anywhere. I release free shit people abuse it and remove copyrights.
My favorite is last year I came across somebody who removed my credits entirely from both the 'readme' file & PHP file and then posted it on another vB related site under their name. After that I stopped responding to my PMs. :ermm:

None at all, it is just something to have more fun with.... the community makes itself.
