First of all "TECK" or should I call you nakkid, I never made any claim as to the nature or origin of any of these portals/front page hacks so I'm not sure where I am "wrong".

Second of all, I'm not your buddy TECK/nakkid. Hell I don't even know you and after this post, I don't think I want to either.

I don't care which one is the original, I don't care where the code was borrowed copied, and frankly, I could care less where even the most remote spark of creativity came from. The point is, instead of taking this attitude that your product is better, your code is better, all hail i'm the creator, bow before my l33tness, you should understand that while some of us enjoy the variety of hacks, we still reserve the right to pick and choose which hacks we want to install.

Maybe instead of spreading yourselves (plural for ALL hackers) thin, a joint effort on projects like this would yield some amazing results, since they are in fact meant for US, the community.

Just my $0.02, take it for what it's worth.
