I agree 100% with Freddie. This site is completely out of hand. I think the underlying problem here, is the fact that there are gobs of 14-15yr olds with growing egos on a quest to showcase. Take afterlab for example... That kid is continuously dangling his "innovations" in front of everyone's face. Newbies are met with a shrug-off attitude, and this seems to be more a source of competitive resource, than helpful resource.

On the commercial side.. I think the idea of selling hacks is ridiculous, and that's not what a "community" is all about. You could say "I'm supposed to put hours and hours into something to give it away for free?" No, you're not.. the simple solution is, don't make it in the first place, you greedy jerk.. but don't come showcasing your crap, and dangling it in the eyes of others either. Speaking as a professional developer, I can say that most of the hacks found on here aren't anywhere near the level of being labeled "commercial worthy." These kids need to learn proper usage of queries, and explore table joins versus queries in while loops. I've seen some of these hacks in action, and there's no excuse in the world for 1+sec exec times, with 60+ queries.
