i think there is other practical uses for this hack as well.
The one thing i grow tired of, is the lack of tabling in the VB threads as far as post responses go. So, if I wanted to add a area for baseball stats, I would basically have to do it in HTML, and link it to the site, in order for it to appear as a valid "chart", and not a jumbled up mess that appears when you try and do it within the forums itself. Top it off with the fact you have to have HTML on in order to clear up these situations if you wish to have it directly in your site, and not a link, its basically a mess waiting to happen.
Although my opinion on your development may not matter, I would like to be the first to encourage you in the finalization of this hack.
I see roughly 5 or 6 uses for this, that could pertain to many, many areas of use for those in the news, stats, games, etc department...its a excellent idea, and when you have fished this hack, I will be waiting in line for it.
