hack removed, someone please delete this thread.

Apparently the 6 days solid I spend supporting this wasn't good enough (not to mention the 65 page total).

Thanks

It would be best if you do that so that it will reduce the stress on you and let yourself focus on your new hack instead of deal with people here.

Just a thought.

Fair enough. No more screenshots :banana:

/me points out once again that he's not selling the hack, but rewarding people who have already supported him.

If Amy wants to debate with me on whether or not hacks should be free, I am up for it, but not in this thread.

I appologize if I insulted you, john, your Tetris hack is great, but I am sure you understand where I am coming from.

I think we all know what the real problem attitude is, right Ninth?

I'm 100% behind you John (maybe in front of you as well, when the bullets start flying)

Hey, you ain't paid me yet???

The whole hacks must be free mentality annoys me. If you want your board customized and don't want to pay for it a)Learn how to code and b) Figure the stuff out and do it yourself. Do NOT expect somebody else to spend THEIR time making your board better.

I no longer release hacks because idiots who aren't even qualified to run a website much less modify a complicated software package have taken most of the fun out of. I deeply love working with other developers to come up with new features, but it's not our job to listen to your whining and temper tantrums.

If mommy and daddy won't raise your allowance so that you can afford to pay developers to create modifications for you, then get a job or an education.

LMAO!!!

This whole thread has got me interested in Flash and ActionScripting myself...hell, this is how I learned VB, VC++, PHP, Perl, Java, JavaScript, etc. ad infinitum...by doing what I needed to be doing for my business.

Hats off to John for this...I was thinking of doing this myself once I downloaded his Tetris hack, but if he is going to do the Arcade I am surely not going to duplicate it...

People: either donate to the hack or build it yourself. No more complaining, please...life ain't a free ride.

Or donate to me! - what a hack would do with donations I'll never know!

Boy, this thread sure went off since I last saw it.

I think that John is free to sell his work if he'd like, and it has been done before on vb.org so it's not like it's something new (for example, Overgrow's original Karma hack). In fact, there are people here who sell their "vB Modification Ability" to others, essentially becoming freelance vBulletin hackers.

The license agreement, I believe, covers the modification and redistribution of the actual vBulletin code itself. Since I hack like this is really a complete add-on using the existing codebase, it should be perfectly legal to re-sell.

That being said, I don't like the idea of selling hacks, and I don't see what the big deal is. I've had a working arcade on my forum for two or three days now. The only thing I am missing is more games (like the ones John has) that work with the system. I could release MY arcade hack, but without more games, it is basically just a different version of John's Tetris hack. Plus, since I started over from scratch, the database structure in mine is completely different from the Tetris hack, and the two are no longer compatible.

Anyway, I guess my point is/was, it's not worth fighting over.

As soon as I have enough for a new licence and a digital camera, I'll do a public release
