My hack wasn't running the Mars lander, or keeping Nuclear missiles from launching
don't be so sure on that... i'm pretty sure that your code could be used to drive the next launch of Columbia... and actually, that may be the cause of the last crash of one of the USAir Force Helicopter... your exploit would have caused a lot if the army use vB ...
Call it what you want, spin it however you want, this was a disrespectful and unnecessary act that can only make sense if you have a very exaggerated sense of self importance and your place in the world. My hack wasn't running the Mars lander, or keeping Nuclear missiles from launching, and neither is vb itself.
The fact is many poeple have invested a lot of money into their sites, if a modification has an exploit it is policy to remove it. This is a black and white issue with no grey area, if it has an exploit it is removed until it is fixed. If you don't like the policy then don't post your modification. It's a simple choice....
I'm happy they treat exploits with that amount of importance in their place in the world. More people should take ownership like the staff here is doing.
That's a good idea. I'll spend about three years here, writing and publishing hacks, answering questions in support forums, attempting to start community projects like Pimp My Board and half a dozen tries to get developers and staff to work together on a community hack project, and being as supportive and responsive as I can manage with my hacks when people have questions or issues.
it is obviously just a misinterpretation of the action made regarding a hack to be checked out... can you just stay focussed here instead of throwing insults ?!

I agree actually. It's not this one action, for me. It's cumulative. As I said, I've spent three years here, and I think I'm done, at least as far as free hacks go.
My thread stating that I'd asked for my hacks to be removed, just got deleted. Even though I took the high road and simply stated 'ideological' differences. It was deleted (not moved) because it was not 'site feedback' - ha. Is using it as an example of ongoing disrespect, in my site feedback thread about disrespect, site feedback? Or will this thread now be deleted? If you want to run your board that way, you can - admins always have the power to be abusive, but you are only proving my point. Albeit only to the few people who read my threads before you delete them, and to yourselves. But, whatever.
