Suggestions: How to bring vBulletin.org back to what it was before...

[TECK]

I'm going to open this thread, in hope that the old school coders will listen to me and try to make an arangement with the current vBulletin.org "business" administration.
In other words, they will start to participate in the forum activities, if they see significant improvements.
If you do not post in this thread, that means you do like the way it is now the community.
But if there is the smallest thing you would like to see it changed, you should raise your voice and post your thoughts.

I will start by posting how it was vBulletin.org ruled, before it started to fall apart.
The term Hacker was not a crime in the old days. A Hacker used to be a great guy/girl who helped others until his/her fingers hurt typing.

Basic Rules:
1. No paying hacks allowed. If you want to make money, you are not welcome to advertise your products at vB.org site, in links, any way or shape of promotion schemes.
2. No bashing or making fun of the new guys. Warnings and bans for those smart guys.
3. Politness is a must. You want to be rude or insultant, come back when you know how to say sorry in front of everyone and admit your mistakes. Do you really think a hacker will care that you like only plugins, being lazy to edit 2-3 lines of code in the actual VB files? He will look at you like a negative guy, not giving the smallest effort to learn something new. So why do you have to make posts like: I will never install this hack, because I only install plugins... In other words, you just said that the hours the hacker spent to create the code hack are worth crap in your eyes.
4. Help anyone, not only yourself. Do not be lazy to post, if you know the answer... someone will thank you and help you with other things... like for example promoting your website?
5. Encourage others in their work. Do you see someone working hard on a project or piece of code? Offer your help if you have the time to do it. They will be grateful.

Site Organisation:
1. This site was created for the hackers to share their vBulletin code into a safe environment. I never liked the idea of having templates or graphic forums.
We are here to create PHP and vBulletin hacks, not to make flower design or learn HTML. Those forums should be located at vBulletin.com site. With only 46 threads started into those forums, you have the answer by yourself.
2. We should see all the forums visible on the front page, like the old times. Not to navigate through a zillion forums until I get to the hack that I'm looking for. The old hack database should be written again.
3. A team of vBulletin programmers should be assigned for the site maintenance only, it should not be a burden for administrators to edit and upgrade every time to the latest vBulletin version.

Now, I invite all hackers to post their wishes, in this way we might have a chance to revive the community that is going down very fast, as we speak.
We would like to see some decissions taken, and very fast.
If you agree with my wishes, please post here and don't forget to add yours.
Hopefully we will be able to save the vB.org Titanic from sinking.

EDIT: If you think is useful, move this thread to Annoncements forum.
I want to see if others will participate in this discussion. If you don't, I guess we all have the answer what will happen to vB.org site.
