We need your creative skills! Name our hack!

[Dean C]

I'm sorry but I fail to see how this thread is allowed. There are no discussions on paid modifications allowed on vBulletin.org. I started a thread about the lite version of one of my hacks that is coming up some weeks ago, and when asked by someone about the price of the commercial modification it was edited and I was warned. Now, you start a thread with the sole discussion of discussing a paid modification, which this is essentially is, and it's allowed to stand.

This is hypocritical, and this thread was created, as you very well know, with the sole purpose of creating hype about your paid modification. I suggest you rethink your marketing strategy until the hypocritical and subjective implementation of these rules is corrected by your superiors

Dean C,

You need to step back and take a very close look at what this thread was created for and then read over your last post again, since it was very uncalled for.

First, discussions about commercial threads are definately allowed on vb.org, however the rules state that the author of the commercial hack can not start a thread to promote his own hack. If you find a commercial hack that is great, you are allowed to start a thread to discuss it. In my case, this thread was NOT created to promote anything at all. Read the title "Name our hack". It is a thread to get ideas for a name of a hack I am working on. I am not promoting anything in the title, nor am I saying to buy a hack, where you can find it, etc.

Umm... once again. READ the thread over. I specifically state that I was warned and contacted twice by admins that I can't discuss commercial hacks or promote anything. I have edited posts to reflect this. So.. how is this any different from your situation?

No, it was not created for the sole purpose of gaining hype. If I wanted to gain hype I would have called the thread title "PROFILE HACK! GET IT NOW!" and then promoted it to death in the body of the thread. This, I did not do.

I suggest you either suggest a name, or leave. Thanks.

toolblast, you know it, and I know it, this thread was created for the purpose of hype. I'm going to leave it at that.

Again this was not really an attack aimed at you, but at the administration and staff due to their hypocritical implementation of their rules; as I, now, believe that there should be a place for threads like this on vBulletin.org.

Thanks Dean. I too wasn't trying to attack you in any way. I am only trying my best to follow the rules and protocols here at vb.org that make it extremely hard to discuss anything when commercialism may be involved.

I too agree with you that vb.org needs to have a thread to allow the promotion of commercial hacks. Not everything can be given away free when a lot of hard work is put into the development of it, and vbulletin license holders need to be able to go to a forum where they can freely see a forum with threads promoting commercial hacks. I know that in the past I have purchased many paid hacks before, and they were very helpful. The only reason I found out about them were from emails directly from the coders of the hacks. So, whats the harm? I don't know, but for now this is forbidden on vb.org and I need to respect that if I want to remain in this community.

Enough said.

Thanks Marco.

Ok everyone! A list of names has been added a poll. These names were suggested by you, as well as outside of this thread.

Please vote on your favorites. You can vote on more than one!

Thanks!

Something's not right with the poll?

Liquid profiles - 1 - 50.00%
vBase - 1 - 50.00%
vbPlus! - 1 - 50.00%
vbXtra - 1 - 50.00%
vbProfiles Pro - 1 - 50.00%

How can there possibly be five lots of 50.00%?

lol. I never noticed!

I guess vb gets buggy when you allow for multiple selections. Meh.

Update: THANKS for the votes so far everyone!
