Who Should Hack Their Board?

I agree with Tubedog. I have seen too many people in a pickle because they paid for installation, and then 10 minutes later were in the hacking forum.

I am not saying that knowledge of php and mysql is necessary. However, a basic knowledge of how to write code, and more importantly how to undo mistakes or make minor adjustments is critical.

I believe the hacker has a responsibility to document their work as well as possible so that somebody with a minimal understanding of the vbulletin code and/or php can implement it quickly. But I don't believe that we are doing total novices a service my making them think they can simply copy and paste and not have problems.
