Hacks should be released in ONE ZIP file please

Bandwidth is NOT the issue. vb.org already has gzip emabled on the server pages. so using zip files is the same as text files in terms of bandwidth.

Sigh, that's another one of those "don't ask" decisions from the top.

I really hope it's a really good reason, and the reason has to be secret, and us cattle users should not know anything about it. It's at least less insulting than the "malicious developers" reason from the other thread.

This is really not the way to build and lead a successful community, and the more of these surprise "secret" reasons for decisions you keep coming up with does not bode well for the forum, and the efforts people have to put in for the privilige of sharing their work here.

Licensing is vb.com's responsibility and the more you want to squeze and burden honest members for the sake of possibly spotting a couple of bad apples here and there is not worth ruining this forum for the rest. The more you keep doing these things, the more need there will be for an alternate place, and if that happens, you'd even lose the ability to request simply entering a license #. So please stop it already, it's really getting sick.
