Default Private Forum for More Experienced Hackers?

It has been suggested that I start a poll regarding this conversation:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48688

Would the hack developers out there enjoy and use a private forum or subforum here for the purpose of discussing hacks and or developing hacks together?

Hmm... what would the criteria be for access to the forum? If people are collaborating together to create a hack, they could always do that on their own forum.

It wouldn't be my forum to make the rules. UBBDev had it set up so that it was by invitation only. They only allowed people in who had released hacks of their own and had demonstrated advanced knowledge.

I wouldn't base it on number of hacks released. Too many copycats out there are already rerelasing other people's hacks. The community knows who the hackers here are and who the leaches are.

It's a good idea I suppose - then again, I rarely post threads about the hacks I'm working on unless I want feedback from the people who are going to use it.

It would be nice to have a place to hang out with other hackers though...

I know many of us don't mind sharing our work with others and enjoy swapping hacks but are just utterly bogged down by having to support people who can't even spell PHP much less code in it. I have at least one big hack that people begged me to release but I never did simply because trying to support it would have been a nightmare.

i like the idea.

i have no problems with give support to the less skilled ones, but there are also hack's i won't release, because i know they are just for better skilles ones.

also for writing on a hack with the experienced hackers it would be a nice thing..

I noticed that several people voted YES, on a private forum...
I personally don't agree, so I voted NO.

The reason? We are all equal, why should some get access to a private forum and others do not?
I mean, I love to help people, from the little knowledge I have with PHP, so that's like removing a benefit to others to see what I post... if I decide to use it.

Let's let the mods and admins have their own private forums here and us to have the rest.
I enjoy the freedom we have here at vB.org and I think is very well organized the way it is now.
Let them copy the code, people will always know how to make the difference between a good hack and a bad one.
I still hope we will have a review system implemented here...

EDIT: Wow, I'm the only one who voted NO.

Who decides who can join? Who gets to invite? What if there is a disagreement? What is the definition of an "experienced hacker"?

It is easy to degenerate to a form of elitism and caste system here if this idea comes into fruition. That is just my opinion.
