That is clearly against the rules, and you are warned against it on the page that is used to send an Update mail. It was also not your first offence.
- New ways of storing, searching & handling modifications will still be done. Just don't expect it to be done over night. As it looks like now major changes for the way modifications are handled will not be ready for at least 2 or 3 more months.
- Commercial Directory is also still in the planning and it is even been worked on at the moment. You can expect that probably in about 1-2 months time when we make the move to vB3.6.

1) I mentioned that i do not wish to question my ban Marco. However, yes, it was my first "offence". And if i had others, i was not warned. And yes, i said i including a link, and it was in the update feature. However, no promotional language was used sir, i wasn't promoting anything, just doing exactly what i said i was doing in the first post. But again, i am not arguing that.

2) Glad to hear it. Will this be standalone or integrated to threads?

3) Great. How integrated with vb.org will it be, will it be so that it is made obvious that it exists and such, or will it just be a link somewhere?

As for your queries about the hack database, no need to go further with that; Marco has already given estimates of completion for when this site goes to 3.6

And for what it's worth, I don't believe that is the opinion of the staff; It may be the opinion of individuals but I know that as a Staff member, that is not my opinion; Perhaps part of the entire grand scheme of problems is that all Staff are generalised as one entity instead of the inviduals that they are?

As a Staff member, and previously as a Community member, when something goes wrong, it is "The Staff" that get blamed for it, as a whole; We are individuals, we make mistakes, and it's this attitude of blaming "The Staff" for everything that also needs to change

It is in one's nature to blame i suppose. And yes, the staff is only made up of regular individuals, i'm sure the community (all being admins) know this I think when people address the staff, as the staff, they just mean it as the majority. The same way i will refer to the "members" as the majority.
