I think an index of the hacks is a great idea. Requests, well, I am not sure they belong in *with* the hacks.
Just the other day, someone had left a message in the requests area for something I *knew* I'd read about a week or two ago.
I searched in vain for it, and could not locate it.
I finally found it by going over the thread subjects one by one, page by page until I recognized it. Then I replied to the guy's message. The message I searched for didn't have a subject line that was useful, and the key terms that *I* would use to locate it didn't appear.
It's one of the issues with the Web and keywords, whether they're user entered or not, whether it's VB or somewhere else, though. And every time it happens to me I wonder if I've left off synonyms in my web sites that are keeping potential users away because they didn't use the same term that I used for something. Alas!
Anyway, that's my short little story. I had time that day to do the search. I don't always.
