Plugin vs. Code modification

[Xenon]

Name: Extensions ^^

and to answer your question Tamarian:
The hacks were moved, because of one reason: within the plugin releases just real plugins should be (speak, you can add them just via admincp)
Not every admin of a board has FTP access as well, that's why there are different admin permissions since vb3 as well.

moving extra files into the modification forum is just the way it was before 3.5
additional files have been in the code modification forums as well, noone complaint.

Of course it's a bit messy right now, but you should all realize, that vb3.5 is still in BETA.
during vb3 we didn't even allow releases of hacks.
We're working on our new Database system, which would make all those discussions here irrelevant, as it will use tags instead of forumseparations. You see we already started to do so when you edit a hack, and have to tick checkboxes. There will be some more in the future.
Because no matter what separation we will do right now, there will always be hybrids: template and plugin, plugin and extension, extension and code mod.....
we cannot create one forum for every single possibility, thats why we are discussion the best intermediate way within the staff, and as the staff is not one person, everyone has a bit different pov about what would be the best way
