Question of the Day: Who are the Top 15 vBulletin Developers Alive?

02-18-2007, 10:23 PM

Ok - start brainstorming. As we all know, the vBulletin Hacker is a sub-species all of its own. Over the years, amazing hacks have been turned out that have rapidly spread across a wide terrain within the realm of vBulletin.

But who are the best of the best in the vBHacker world?
Where do they lurk?
What do they do when they're not hunting missing semi-colons?

Tells us who they are, what they've done, and why they need to have their name etched onto the list of the definitive top 15 vBulletin Hackers alive.

Modesty not required. If you deserve to be on the list, tell us.

And - if someone's name is posted that you feel doesn't meet the standard, tell us why. Friendly, professional debate is encouraged. Profanity, trolling, or any time of unsavory behavior will not be tolerated.

Let the games begin.

On this board as you said?
Or just vB Developers

Just vBulletin Developers. They don't have to be participants here. They could be members of other communities such as vb.org.

here is a list, like mike I'll come back later and edit it if needed.

I'm only ranking the programmers that have hacks that I've used.

The Geek - I've used GAR's and GAB.. I love GAR's and can honestly say its options have been a great addon for my sites.

vBSEO - not sure who the top program er is ( Joe, Oleg, Juan ) ? not sure but this is a great script very well coded and again, has been a great add-on for my sites.

Adrian (vBlogetin) - This is just sweet, it's still in Beta but from what I seen, it's fantastic.. I've never really looked at other codes Adrian may have put out, but this one is nice

Code Monkey - I use CM's weather mod and article bot. I use the weather mod more and have seen many friends request it.. I liked CM's AJAX mod but then vb made it default.. More then anything, he's always been there to help me when I'd get stuck on a site, so I nominate him for this.

Those are the only coders that I deal with on regular terms.. I'll see the hacks I've installed at vb.org to show some of my tops from there

I like and suggest some hacks by:
Paul M
Xenon
Logician
Ted S
MrZeropage
Abe1
amykhar
Kerry-Anne

I'm sure there a few more, but that's all I'm posting for now..lol

SirAdrian · 02-19-2007, 03:18 AM

+1 for Zero Tolerance, and also TECK. Both are excellent coders.

And of course I can second everyone that has been said so far..

Mikeyodesigns · 02-19-2007, 07:37 AM

I would have to say those developers who have brought the most out of my vbulletin forum. Wth their easy to use modifications and superb support i would nominate>>

MrZeropage for IbProarcade
Logician for Webtemplates
Zero Tolerance for vBshout and Rpg Inferno
CMX_CMGSCCC for vBplaza

For developers that have brought out the most out of my vBulletin would be.

1. Sir Adrian. (his hack is by far the most usefull hack I know of) cut spam dramatcally since i installed it) with some tweaking, it's now eliminated it completely). *touches wood*
2. Zero tolerance. His hacks have brought a visually and functionality to my board. Visual aspects were all down to me of course but his hacks help pave that path.
3. Paul_M. His hacks functionality and ease of use have always beeen flawless and are always of high quality.
4. Kerry-Anne. Even though her mod was my biggest mistake it did teach me how much better it could function and visually look.
5. Dchapman. I've never had to use his 1 mod I installed but I can see how usefull it could have been and again. the ease of use and functionality was top notch.

On a contribution scale.

1. Zero Tolerance.
2. Paul_M
3. D_Chapman
4. Zachariah
5. CodeMonkey
