I have been around for around 2 or 3 years now and I happen to think it's a pretty active place! I may be blind to the problems that some people speak of, but I truly do not see anything wrong.
The staff have been nothing but nice and professional, as far as I have seen. Plenty of members are releasing very good modifications, and MOST are supported just fine (again, as far as I have seen). You will always have a few bad apples, both authors of code who don't care that people have their mod installed and need help, and also members who are unappreciative, impatient little turds. Overall though, I think this place is just as great as ever. Actually, I think it's BETTER than ever. The staff have put a lot of thought into what would make this site better, and they take steps to put those into action. I can remember being on here a couple years ago and we didn't have nearly the amount of organization or features. Not that it was anyone's fault but, naturally, sites will grow and improve, which is what I feel this site has done. It's no easy task to run a site this large or to support some of the bigger hacks out there, but I think everyone is doing pretty good job at making things work pretty smoothly. Big thanks and props to all of the staff who make this place run smoothly and to the coders out there who very selflessly take the time to not only create the hacks but to also support them. I have not noticed lack of activity at all.

I'm not sure where to start in regards to the original reason this thread was opened. Hmmm... how about.... Are you kidding me? That's like walking into a free place for homeless people to sleep at and demanding that the volunteers who run it fix the place up. Get a grip on yourself.
I just now started posting here in the last couple weeks. My site launched in August '06 and I've had plenty to do there since then, so I'm just now getting some time to explore what else I can do with the vBulletin software. That being said, I'm quite frankly AMAZED at how many free hacks have been produced by the selfless servants of this site. You'll never know how much all of this stuff is appreciated by those of us who take what's given to us and do the best we can with it. It might actually be a good idea to have a forum dedicated to php training. If anyone wanted to offer some basic training guides, I'd be more than happy to learn it and help out when I can. As far as blaming the administration... again, Are you kidding me?? This site is obviously very well put together, and you yourself can't have a great site if you can even think about trying to blame administration. It takes alot of time and effort to maintain any communtiy... especially one this size. They're doing a wonderful job.

Sure you couldn't edit them via the admincp but at least you didn't have to go off looking through a lot of perl code for bits of html. I remember the old ubb days... The first "hack" I ever installed was a simple one-line edit that changed the "IP logged" link in posts to an image. I thought I was the man after I attempted installing that... . From that point on I couldn't help myself and I installed every hack I could get my hands on, things like; Private messaging, avatars, more than 5 moderators per forum, "Mega" (super) moderators, Polling system (board wide on the forumhome page, not per thread), Who's Online?, The Karma Hack, custom smilies and bbcode...and the list goes on and on...4tugboat FTW!

I think you had the most hacks ever on a board. Over a hundred +?
I recall being one of the few who actually went through every single CGI and PL file to do the edits. Then again I had rather an unorthodox way of modifying UBB. I actually went through every line of code just because.

<font color="Navy">I second you Brandi...In addition, I think The problem is merely because of the fact that most of the mods/plugins one would need for a general forum, are already released in some variation or another in VB.ORG
Just like the economy or many aspects in life. There is a peak, once it is reached, you can;t go any further...</font>
