should this hack be removed?

I, among others, feel that hacks posted here should be free and open source, and that if the person wishes to charge for the hack, should not have it posted in a "Full Releases" forum.

Is there something on this site that says hacks have to be open source? I have never seen anything on this site say it is even open source, just hacks / addons and as long as if work with vb and works *which it does for me* it is a hack. so why dont you get a life.

Maybe this forum needs a section for hacks that you can purchase?

Waiting for Mods or Admins to say something, I'll give you my 2 cents:

I think all the hacks in vbulletin.org should be FREE of any charge.

The "protection" of being registered as a regular customer @ vbulletin.com is enough...

Sincerely, I hope they'll remove that...and that no-one follows the example...

Good Day

So your saying, if i spent 2 weeks devloping a hack (80 hours), which would, at the rate i charge($36/hour for simple stuff), cost me in lost work, $2880.

And that this hack, even if its the best quality, and has reasonable support(even if it doesnt) - but provides large level of functions, that it should be free?

Sorry - please go out into the real world, you dont get car modifications for free, even if you can prove you own the car.

For all I care, you could charge a million bucks for it... You just shouldn't post it here.
This should be the place for sharing hacks and knowledge with eachother, not making money.

What's with the attitude of a lot of ppl here lately?
Have you considered maybe taking a break or something?

Well, as i see it, for an upcoming hack ill be releasing(which ive been saying for 6 months ) - there are quite a few people who would wish to have such a hack.

I dont feel that these forums should be 100% opensource/free. For the work these people do to create hacks, they deserve more than a 'thats awsome, thanks!' - like the karma hack by overgrown(it even found its way into vB3).

I fail to see any real reason why hacks that cost money should be banned? Is it because it gets yours hopes up and your not willing to spend the money?

This community wasnt specifically designed to hold only opensource/free hacks...

I have a feeling that neo was pushed over the edge - just because he wishes to charge for a hack doesnt give anyone the right to challenge his hack to be deleted from the 'releases' forum.

Ok.

I'll wait 'till FireFly charges you for advertising your own WORK on his site.
