Policy on unsupported hacks?

[Dream]

This is an interesting discussion.

People rely too much in modifications released here in my opinion. You shouldn't count on modifications posted here as being eternal, and you should know you may not have the modification working tomorrow.

If you really want to do something about it, place an option checkbox on mods that say if the user authorizes people to modify and re-release their mods. I know I would have no problem with someone updating my mod if I'm busy in another place. Of course, if I'm around, it would be rude for someone to update my mods before asking me.

A notice in the mod thread "this mod can be modified and re-released" would be cool. And it could be another reason for you to install the mod, as you know if the mod author vanishes from vB.org someone else can take over.

As for the older stuff, I'm sorry but it's your fault for having modified your board so much.
