what is the ruling on vb.org for selling of hacks? I can't see any terms and conditions anywhere???

This is a hacking community, related to any types of hack, free or otherwise.

The number of hacks john has installed by other authors is not the issue here, if other people want to give away hacks, that's up to them.

I don't feel that john should be pushed out of the community because of this.

You'll note that I never said selling a hack was wrong, I just said I disagreed with the practice, and I TRULY disagree with using the vb.org forums to heavily promote a hack that is being sold, as is going on in the vbTetris thread.

I will release my hack when it is ready, and it will be free and I will support it. The vb.org (and vb.com before it) community has helped make my sites what they are today and I'd be happy to donate whatever time I can to give back to people.

As I said in my original post, the ethical part of it comes up mainly because I'm not a "dog eat dog" sort of guy, I guess.

Fine. You won't see any more hacks or support from me. I'll keep myself to myself.

Is that even possible?

I actually saw a guy on Ripply's Believe it or not bend down that far, but not enough to stick his head in his own ass.

Ok, deleted the main tetris hack, so that's the end of that. S65 pages of tech support in that one, can you blame me for not wanting to release the arcade with support?!

Clinton did it for years, so, yes, it IS possible.

I'm not backing him up because I've got his hack, I'm backing him up because I feel what is happening to him is wrong.

Since I first met john, via these forum, i've been talking with him a lot on MSN, and I've almost come to a point where i'd call him a friend.

I'm supporting my friend because I know he is feeling very unhappy at the moment at the way some people have been treating him.
