Because I see many people who have loads of hacks installed.

Then after doing a clean install of the new vBulletin version to plug possible security issues, they then re-hack there board all over again which could possibly add security issues all over again which they just upgraded to avoid.

Hahaha, Guess there must be method in that madness somewhere! :squareeyed:

That is odd, heh.

I personally only modify files if it's something I feel is worth it (and if it's no more than at least 3 or so files). I also try to avoid plugins and hacks that modify the database as best as possible too.
