We will still need to evaluate the 3.0 premium sections before we decide if we will have them for 3.5.

Right now my personal opinion is that we should not create them in the same form as the 3.0, if at all.

Have a look in those 3.0 sections, some of them are not givinf the 'Premium' support as what the forum name suggest. And once you don't have a single thread on a hack anymore, but hundreds of posts, it is impossible to merge them back into a single thread if the author don't give the support over time that he intended to give when he started.

IMO the "premium" areas have been a bit of a failure. Two or three of the hacks seem to have been abandoned, and now many people are moving to 3.5, the rest will probably get less & less attention.

maybe the idea of the vbhosting hack was a good idea then for on here. where premium hacks could get their own forum, like v3arcade and those making big traffic and have high installs...

yea john has his own site, but not every1 is registered on there or knows bout it...and its just 2 much stuff going back and forth. maybe with hacks like v3arcade, and the author has a website he is using to have support, there could be a premium section, and the forum for that hack would be a forward to the authors site, so all optional problems would go over there.

The program was an experiment and it will have to re-evaluated before there is any progress to it. It seemed like a good idea at the onset but it appears that true support isn't what people want to provide.

Part of the problem, in my view, is that people expected it to be like a full-on support forum 24/7 - Their ability to post numerous duplicate threads and annoy the hell out of the author was too great...

the creators of the hacks given forums should be able to have a system of tools to trouble shoot things offered to them.

ideas like the vbugs script so they can open and close bugs (although just closing a thread when something is fixed would be best, and labeling it [FIXED] like i do on my forum...theres a lot of ways to work with this. its a good idea, just might not be throught out completely.

The general direction we are hoping to go in is allowing all hack threads to have such tools. Bug tracking, multiple support threads, CVS, etc.
