I have to say, some of the abusive emails I've been getting really make me sick of some of the people in this community.

Please appreciate that as a freelancer I have to work to make a living, and at the moment I don't have *any* spare time - period. My financial situation is dire to say the least, and as such supporting free hacks on vB.org is the last of my priorities.

The main reason for the delay is because the new system uses a different database structure to the old, which means I'll have write an import script - because anything less than that and I'll have a bunch of ingrates emailing me with complaints. Furthermore, I'm sure there are going to be a lot of people who actually prefer the old system to the new one - visually, it's completely different. When I can afford to, I'll get the update packaged up and the import script written.

Wow, I guess I really owe you. There, I've changed the status of the hack to suit.

You did not have to reply to that John. I am sure there are plenty of us that are grateful for what is still a great hack. For my part, I will say thank you again.

Ditto

I have to say it annoys me too the way people get irate about things like this. Still I can understand to a degree the frustration, however it should never come to abusive emails. I know ever time I PM'd you I got an answer which was polite and clear.

Cheers for the honesty, least we have an idea it's going to be a while before it probably get's done.

Now here's a tip for everyone thats used this or is using the v3arcade...why not go donate a coin or two if you can spare it (if you havn't already) to help John out after all the arcade hacks damn fine and worth a few quid as a donation never mind this hack.

I know, thanks - but there are some people who are just beyond belief, where if it's a matter of trying to work to pay the bills or to do free support, they seem to think I should do the latter.

Anyway, not to go on about it - I'm sure many of you are going to be surprised when you see what's coming next. (All my free time has gone into it - that's why it's been so difficult to get anything else done, apart from the fact that I don't have much spare time in the first place.)

Donations are the only reason I can afford to keep the v3 site running - thanks to everyone who's given something towards it. But don't think because I'm harping on about finance that I'm after donations, they're very much appreciated - but I don't expect anything back.

You might not expect them but you do deserve a few :)

Not to repeat myself, but with all of the complaints I think my question on the previous page was overlooked, and I wanted to know if there was an answer to it. I had askedIf anyone can let me know I'd really appreciate it, thanks. :)

Old system: It's a lot of hard work.
New system: Yes.
