Definition of Hacking- The word "hacking" has two definitions. The first definition refers to the hobby/profession of working with computers. The second definition refers to breaking into computer systems. While the first definition is older and is still used by many computer enthusiasts (who refer to cyber-criminals as "crackers"), the second definition is much more commonly used. In particular, the web pages here refer to "hackers" simply because our web-server logs show that every one who reaches these pages are using the second definition as part of their search criteria.



Definition of Modding- Mods are "gamer-made custom contents for official game titles. . . . In many cases mods introduce new features and perspectives that later find their way to official game titles". Modding is a hardcore gaming activity, undertaken by those with long-term interests in the game and in the genre as a whole. Modders post their mods on Web sites where users post reviews and suggest further enhancements. Increasingly, game companies are building modding utilities into their game engines.
Hope fully people who say modding when they mean hacking, at least they will know the difference.
