Default Not sure you wanna know!

I am, or was new to vBulletin having come from a Nuke environment.

Managing to complete upgrades etc I went looking for MODS.

The first place I'm directed to is this place. I'm not quite sure why vBulletin.com is directing people here because quite frankly this place sucks!

Not just reading my own posts, but those of others as well..What a waste of time...This place may as well just pack up and go home.

I have never come across such a collection of un-helpfull ego maniacs in all my life.

You should all take the time to see of others are doing it, maybe then you'll get the idea.

Shame on you!

Sly

Yikeys! Well, duder. Maybe you present retarded queries, or just have bad luck? Who knows? I know I have gotten help from here sveeal times, and I think too, the reason Vbulletin.com directs it's members 2 here, is because this is the company's help forum. Later!

Wow. You obviously didn't read ANY posts. I can honestly say that in the Modification Questions Forum alone, myself and others have helped dozens of people.

Oh and another thing: all the members on this site -- including those on Staff, are doing all this for nothing in return. We don't get paychecks or medals -- heck, most of the time we don't even get a 'thank you', we should all be thankful that there are people kind enough to offer any assistance whatsoever.

You just have to ask the right people... many of us here are glad to help out when we can. Drop me a PM if you still have any questions. I won't argue your points, because many of them are valid; however, it's very rude to say this place sucks, especially when so many people are trying to correct it.

Can you clarify a bit further? I only see one thread of yours in the Unpaid Modification Request forum, that wasn't answered.

And as acidburn0520 mentioned already, the members here are all volunteers. We aren't paid to create modifications requested in the Modification Request forum. If coders are interested and have the time, they will usually look at the Modification Request forum and create modifications that are request there. However, it is never garunteed that someone will answer your request.

If you really need a modification that is not already available, then I suggest trying the Service Request forum to find someone who create the modification for payment.

Ok,

I'll admit the comment with regards to "this places sucks" was harsh and probably wrong. I can clearly see that many have been helped, but not too many of late.

I totally unserstand the role those with the know-how work under. I know its un-paid and have learnt to be patient.

With regards to the idiot makign references to "retarded questions", grow up pal. Have you even taken the time to see the post or questions I have made? Thought so!

Its also funny how several posts asking questions have gone un-answered, but this one seems to have drawn a few out....

I'm a theme/style person, I apply MOD for PhP-Nuke sites unpaid so I know the story....

Rather than just take my workd for it, have a look in most of the forums...Many posts with large view rates and little or no replies...

Unfortunate.

Sly

He does have a valid point - most of us these days (inc myself) are having to pay for hacks these days simply cause no one is porting the old stuff.With every new Vbulletin comes more problems as hacks are not backwards compatible so that little feature we prided on our board no longer works so everytime we upgrade (which is needed for security flaws) we lose a part of the features we had and have to start afresh.Is ok haveing all the whistles and bells in the latest version but is no good if they do nothing for us.

Reckon soon the most active forum on here will be Paid Services.

While there are unanswered posts I have noticed an increase of activity lately from, not only the staff, but from community members; all doing their bit to help one another. That is a positive and we should applaud the efforts of those who contribute. As much as we want to have every question answered and every problem solved the reality is that will never happen.

For the posts with high views but few or no replies we could do the following :

1. If we view a thread but do not know the answer we can reply "I've read but do not know the answer" or "I don't know". This could lead to threads with high but unhelpful post counts.

2. If we view a thread and know the answer we can either: a) Reply with an answer or b) Reply indicating while we know the answer we don't feel up to posting the answer, simply do not have the time or will do but for a fee. Err...

I was trying to refrain from going down this path as I see no good coming from it.

I was initially directed here from vb.com...

Now, I fully understand and appreciate that sites such as this work on free time, which for most will come and go, and it also requires EVERYONE to particpate in order for a "community" to function.

I've had VB for over a month now and have used some of the MOD's from this site, which I again appreciate!

My comments above were made as a result of being directed to another VB MOD site, and having had the same replies answered, not all, but most. And in one case I have paid (which I am happy to do) for a hack.

All that being said, its still a shame for a site such as this to fall by the wayside, which from the lack of input in the area's it was designed for clearly show the lack of enthusiasm and overall functionality.

No one is expecting people to post in topics they either dont, won't or can't comment on, that would simply be a wate of time...It was used as an example to highlight the "impression" a new users receives.

The comments in this forum were made to perhaps "gee-up" the powers that be.
