That, sir, is uncalled for. This is a civil website with a code of conduct that does not include calling other members "dumbasses" - with a mere 20 posts to your credit in the last year and a half, I would suggest that you take the time to reconnect yourself with the rules of this site.

...Now back to the hot camel talk...
This is something I can't stand on this site. This guy has the audacity to tell people to read the rules when he himself was provoking a situation and tossing out some name calling yesterday. (Which the thread ended up closed.) THAT is also getting old and I wish something would be done about it.
I TRY to avoid situations where I can but as of late, this site has more kindling for flames than the campsites I visit.

It's in the water... or the air... or something...

Oh, you just had to quote the guy didn't you? Now I can see his text (mental note: need to improve ignore to include quotes). He's just angry because I told him what he could do with his "advice" when he felt a need to sent me a rather nasty PM. What else can one expect when trying to wrestle with the Big Dog?

Seriously, go back and see who was doing the name calling. Guilty of poking angry kittens with sticks, sure, but I am above name calling. It's so much more entertaining to watch people go into meltdown mode without having to resort to calling people, oh, I don't know - dumbasses?

New day, new priorities. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other if people want to throw temper tantrums in an effort to get some attention; in the end it's up to the Admins to sort it all out and figure out the best path going forward. (Which I am sure they will do.)

problem is its vb.org that makes vbulletin what it is.. tbh the software is ok, it could be ALOT better.. but its hacks and the vb.org commuinity which make me some times stay up all night just messing about with me forums.. =-/

if the coders from vb.org go on strike or remove all hacks..

vbulletin will die?..

My suggestion... before you all rush out to create, modify, code, re-program, arrange, calculate, compile, compute, design, draft, edit, process, or whatever you normally want to do to vBorg...

Elect, through registered members' vote, a Board of Advisors. Create Advisory Committee(s) within the Board.

Set up ad hoc committees (for example hack DB deployment) as needed, then disband once the project is completed.

Allocate space on the Board for non-coders, coders, designers and whatever the flavor of names call today. Get a reasonable cross-section of the community.

Allow the Board and the advisory committees to provide a concise and specific feedback to vBorg direction. vBorg should respond why or why not implementing the feedbacks/direction to the whole community.

There is no reason vBorg cannot run herself as thousands of non-profits do.

Add some structure to how things happen at vBorg, and the majority of displeasures will fade.

I appreciate all the coders here and would pay a subscription if I had to, to get the hack info.

Hmmm... I'm not sure I'd want a site to profit from my work without some form of compensation.

vb.org is owned by vb.com. You can't post here or download hacks without a license. You pay $150 for that license, and $30 or so to keep it every year. You already subscribe to this site.

Sorta true. You pay 30$ a year for VB updates not vb.org / vb.com access or right to keep the software.

Sorry, I have to post it:

Its one thing to be a man and admit when you are incorrect, its another to lie. On the board you had to be warned by Floris and your response to my PM telling you to grow up started with "Livewire is a pu$$y". If that isn't name calling, then I don't know what is. Yes, that was a PM. It wasn't on the board. The fact is though, you apparently aren't above name calling so please don't try to put up a facade for the members to believe you are something you are not.

Your a great coder but you have some serious growing up to do bud.
