hmm i agree freddie. we need Hack Reviews. definitelly.
some people install hacks and have no idea why or how they are created, but they like the features of it.
they dont ask themself, "ok this hack is it gonna ruin my board?"
no. not at all.

that's why the reviews come handy. people with code experience could drop a line there to guide the novice coders who "attempt" to release a hack just for the fun of it.
