And again a mod is gone

[Paul M]

If you recall back about a month, we did say that we were looking at a public archive where some old (currently removed) mods could go. This is still in progress.

Well I started a whole new thread with this subject not noticing this one. Thanks to the staff member who alerted me. here is what I posted. I agree with Cap. Although the mod is the coders property what the members post in the thread is not. No one should be deleting a users content without some sort of notice.

I'm really upset to see some really good coders leave recently due to "INSIDE" squabbles with the staff. Seems to be a pattern starting to develop. This is a free community that from the short time I've been here has been very pleasant aside from the straglers who come in to rouse people up.

Its just sad to see good people be run off due to a very FEW other members of the board as well as the staff.
What really gets me about the most recent I've discovered is Mr. Chad and since he has opted to not allow his worked to be posted here anymore WHOLE threads are now gone They were not even saved in the Archives? Besides his files being taken down why would anyone take down the rest of the thread some with 100's of replies from members helping one another to fix things get stuff in order. Share their findings and other small stuff that really is not the thread authors property nor his/her right to have removed.
I am missing dozens of posts WITHOUT my being asked If I wish to have them removed or before being given the chance to copy my data. This is not good and leaves me with a very sour taste in the finger tips.
I'm having troubles with a hack installed that I KNOW FOR FACT is solved in one of the DELETED threads............. This is so annoying. Is there a way to get my information back

Some rules about deleting threads and post's should be reconsidered. Why delete the uninvolved persons data?

Anyone else pissed about these happenings lately?

I no longer code nor support previous modifications out of choice, not due to forum politics.

From what I've been hearing, several coders have left and removed their work since I was active here.. It's a sad state indeed, and is something that I never really expected to happen. vBulletin.org used to be all about coders exploring new ideas and helping each other out, coming up with some amazingly useful tools.

What happened? =\

I guess I'm not understanding. Why are these "coders" leaving here? Is there some hidden reason why?

egos, big heads, internal fights... everything can be related to these quit...

Please dont be mad at me when i say this, but vbulletin.org is nothing at all without its coders! I think the coders should come at the front of the line and get to have more say in what they want, there is honestly not much stopping them from going to another site or making their own, maby even stop modding all together.

So when are these links going to appear. And exactly where are they going to be placed? Ive been looking and have not found anything yet
