to tell the truth I think it's alot easyer to pm the author and gety there permission because they are normally fine with some one porting a hack over.

Again, that assumes the Author is still around and visiting vb.org - in some cases they have not been here for months (or more).

in that case PM the author stating what your doing.. post it, if then he says no etc. request a mod to remove it..

What If all I want to do is make a modifications request thread to gather support? Under the current system I shouldn't, I should post in the origonal hack thread...

I wasn't going to say anything but then I saw this thread and a few other requests by people to "port" hacks made by other people.

If this was open source it would be ok. But vb.org isn't open source.

Perhaps lack of communication goes a long way?

I PMed you saying that on behalf of Revan, he said that he will recode it and release it. Recode it meaning code it himself, not using your codes at all. If you would like me to post the conversation just let me know. However, your attempt at slander was not a good one at all due to the fact that not once did Revan or I say that we were going to port your hack using your code and release it. And if i or Revan decide to port your hack as appose to release our own version, it will only be for personal use, which is 100% legal.

Thank you,
Giovanni Martinez
