You are right it dont take 2 mins to sign up - but theres something amiss about all this and in time we will see if im right.

I didn't say we shouldn't have a say at all, I said "shouldn't really have a say on where the hacker provides support"

so u did - sorry m8 my fault,read it wrong.But what if every hacker decided to post a hack here and then say `go here for support` - we be knackered then.

tabs and tab groups problem solved, i don't really care where i go for support as long as i can get an email when my problem is solved, hence why i actually prefer independant boards i think, i can get replies just to my issues rather than a whole thread, until vb.org implements a feature where i can get emailed when people quote my specified post i'll go wherever the help is.

Yep that's true... lol I'm not saying it'd be better for us if they each had their own place for support - It'd suck, just saying they should have the right to have those places.... hopefully not everyone would excersize that right

I still think that this place would be far and away the best place for getting and giving support *if* hack authors / supporters could mark individual posts as "FAQ" items for that hack... that way anyone looking for help could filter out the excess and just read the useful content.

It's not that easy giving support in a 1,000+ post linear thread.

Being a new guy here I thought I would jump in here, honestly when I first came here and asked for help I was surprised at the lack of responses. I don't blame anyone for this but I really did expect to hear a simple "I would but don't have time" or "sure, but it will cost you" or something, but almost all of my posts for help both paying or not received no responses.

I have worked with this board a little bit and am learning how it works so most things I can now do for myself and I am glad to freely share for those who want it. This is where I am beginning to see why people may not reply so much, since posting a couple of little tweaks I have received PM's from people asking for help, more than I can handle actually.

That's completely understandable, I guess that's where it's nice when other people can jump in and help out. I do what I can also and you will find that I will become very active in this community as well, I was the same way with my last board. Obviously, I don't have much of a life.

I did alot of help with myvbindex back in the day, and now i help out brian with vBadvanced.

The community is changing and has changed, but that doesnt mean we cant adapt and change as well.

I really dont like the fact "everyone" is going out and making hacks and charging for them, now granted there are some that are worthy of it.

I think what really gets me are the people who are making alot of money on their websites who wont pay for a simple hack, or wont reinvest some of their time and efforts back into the community
