well but some users don't add their hacks to the database...
 perhaps this could be changed: noone can create thread in the fullreleases forum anymore, but threads are created automatically there when someone posts a hack in the Database. also as Pal Logician said more subforums for Full releases could help, hacks which are already in the HackDB can be moved easily to the new subforums i think, they are already catagorized. The Minihack forum i suggested some time ago is already planned Chen told me shortly after i became Mod here, but i think just for the vb3 hackin forums Quote:

if any help is needed i'd be more then happy to help the community...
As for more authors... thats up to them if they want to learn and try... As for a rating system i dunno... there's a crucial factor of everyone's 'first' hack... i've seen many that are not to be mean but not necessarily hacks... like my own if you care to check out out... yeah i know pretty sad  but anyways first feedback from the community wasn't that great  so i disappeared for a couple of months and returned more confident... as you can see i have made some improvement... but a 'hack ratings system' is like a 'bash new hackers' type deal... thats just my opinion...As for and idea... perhaps if its someone's first hack there can be some kind of noticication (prefix?) so that members know its their first (second and third as well maybe?) so that they feel more comfortable and hackers will be easier.... Another idea... similiar to a new feature 'vb3 similiar threads' have a vb similiar hacks that would appear before confirming a hack release... this would maybe stop releases from being released in the past... I don't know what else... just some input and my opinions... regards... g-force2k2

Some very interesting ideas. I like the idea of a clan-type system though I do have misgivings about it dividing the community.
Some kind of PHP course would be stellar. If anyone who knows PHP well would like to volunteer to lead a course in PHP, please contact me or Firefly. Dividing up the hacks would probably not be a bad idea. We'll look into that.

Cant you notice this from your own hacks? A hack sometimes gets 5 installers in 2 months, then someones asks a question and thread is bumped in full releases and it gets 10 installers in 2 days. Happens to me all the time.. I agree the functionality and necessity of hack db, but I'm just stating that vb.org needs other tools/structures to promote "forgetten" hacks more and helps the visitors "fish" well.. Quote:
Besides if a consesus about what will be done is maintained and management approves some of the proposals here, I'm sure many experienced hackers would happily help out coding/hacking of new vb.org additions/features. Quote:
My 2 cents.. Thx for listening..

May I make a suggestion? Mabing making a catagory for 2.x when 3 comes out listing hacks, and support forums, so it can be organized better.
The review system is a good idea.

g-force2k2,
Consider the review system as something for hackers to aspire to. If new hackers get their feelings hurt because their first hack did not get reviewed or it was given a 'poor' review, then perhaps those users are not made out to be php programmers... I would think that to be good, one needs to be open to criticism and more importantly, to learn from what is said. Basically, it goes hand-in-hand with maturity... mature people will accept it, others... well... we've come full circle now to my other suggestion  I'm afraid that having clan-systems will cause divisions. It is human nature and something that has already kinda happened here... one only needs to look at the whole arcade drama to see how some groups can cause division, even when that was not the original intent. FWIW, these are my own humble observations here so take them however you want Cheers, ~Regs.

We will not be adding more admins. We will probably not be adding additional hacks unless we see a need for them. Installing them for the heck of it doesn't really help anything.

Everyone has good points so far.
 I really like the idea of a better organization of hacks, so the small and old but excellent hacks do not get lost in the mass. The hack db is excellent, but maye it should include all hacks. Also, more categories that are more specific would be great too. Maybe make a staff member responsible solely to maintain the db and move hacks to the correct category.
