If you're half the coder you claim to be then you should know that as a coder you aren't going to reinvent the wheel if there's a perfectly good wheel that already exists and can be used.

as for why I don't do it myself, it's because I'm not familiar with the vb framework

This is pretty clear from the fact that you keep calling the mod a heath robinson machine but have no clue what would be required to actually code the functionality you are after, other than a vague reference to 12 lines of code. I can guarantee it would likely not be 12 lines of code, and code that small and short would require you to alter core files and would not allow you to make changes through admincp and even then the chances of being able to do it in 12 lines are remote.

Does it have features you aren't interested in using, almost certainly, but that's true with any piece of software you use that you don't code yourself. Did you write your own webserver software because apache is a "heath robinson machine" for doing a whole bunch of things as a webserver that you don't need it to do. Of course not. As I pointed out in my last response no one is going to code you something if a viable free alternative exists unless you pay them to do so, in which case post in the paid section.
