Ego?? What is ego?



This is why I like Shelley well minus the most are ungrateful comment (ahh let's be optimistic when we can Shelley )

I'll give it a shot. 2010 was going to bring great things, then I woke up. :P

What I meant by my comment is the majority of people won't click the mark as installed because it's mainly down to laziness or they didn't see the link to click. Let's face fact, most users are new, they come on download and be on their way. By the time they familiarize how vb.org works they have forgotten the script they might want to install or too bone idle to find the thread and mark as installed. Okay, I never said that directly but that might just be another possibility why people aren't clicking. How's that for a touch of 2010 helping of Optimism? I'm optimistic that they won't return to click the link.

Personally, I always mark as installed once I have verified the script is working and fits my needs. Heck, I even donate to the people who I found that their script benefited my site.

The way I see it. You contribute because you want to not to expect to gain or get a "mark as installed" extra rating. Though that isn't the debate here.
