Dumped in an inconvenient situation

By another coder, who is quite frankly "is willing to give up his free time up to continue supporting it for you without any gains in doing so, as all download credits goes to the original author". Which would otherwise just become and outdated hack thats no longer compatible with future vBulletin releases (maybe), and end up in the graveyard as trash.

We're not stopping people from doing that. Anyone can ask the author for permission to continue to develop their modifications.

Coders have no obligation to support their modifications, and do not have to hand over the development of their modification to others. We will never ask coders to support their modifications or risk having it taken over by someone else.
