Most Common Hacks

Is there a place (here maybe) where there is a listing of common hacks. Just getting started, I don't really know for sure what I want and it would be nice to see a canonical listing of hacks so I can pick and choose what I think would suit my site.

Aside from that, which hacking resources are valuable? I've seen vbulletin.org, this site, and that's pretty much it. I don't want to go crazy, but I would like to make my site not so plain jane and out of the box as all of the other sites out there.

Look at the vbw top ten lists - feel free to add a hack there if you dont see one you think is important.

Also depends upon what your forum is about. If you are based off a yugioh, anime topic then adding more modifications really is a must since your target audience are much, much younger and need more than a good selection of forums to keep them entertained.
