When the hack database comes the forums won't exist in their current state anyway so its better to get used to a change now and a smaller change in the future than it all happen at once
Why does EVERYONE miss this? Surely when you visit the home page, and then click for the Forums from the tab, it should be seen?
No offence to anyone who has missed it, I just fail to understand why there is so much confusion in it. This is the best change to vB.org I have seen for months. It sucks that nobody can see it :P

I concur.
However, I agree that some sort of announcement should be created.
or a forum called modifications that links to the page.
I think I understand why this was done, but I don't think it's a great idea hiding away what is probably the most important part of the site. You can put all the announcements you like - you know people don't read them, there is just going to be thread after thread asking where the hacks/mods are ......
Let there be then. We'll put a smile on our faces and answers anyone who asks. Nobody is, however, forcing you to answer people who ask this. If it bothers you - ignore the thread, and somebody nice enough will tell the person where they've been moved to. Like you said, no amount of announcements will stop this, but it's not something we're going to change. We did it for several reasons - many a lot more worthwhile than completly reverting it just to stop a few harmless threads of members innocently asking what has happened. It's not good on behalf of this community to see members saying where it is followed by something like 'look here next time idiot' or something like that. But in short - nobody is forced to reply to these threads. If they bother you, its best to ignore them and let the staff handle those questions and let members who ask not feel bad for doing so or feel like idiots, or whatever.
Over time, people will get used to the change and the threads will die down. Until then, it's not the hardest thing to bare with the threads.
