Many of us have hacks that we don't release to the hacking community. Some of them are hacks that are too specific to our own forums to be of use to anybody else. Some of them are things we've done that we don't want to take the time to document and support. Others are things we have done that we want to remain unique on our own forums.

I have a few little things I have done that are Epinions-specific.
I didn't release my premium style hack for over a year out of laziness but finally decided it was time to contribute again.
I have one other hack I have had on my board from time to time that I know people want but I have mixed feelings about releasing it. My style and graphics skills are not the best; so if I want my board to have something special (besides the content) then I need to reserve some of my coding work.

So, what hacks haven't you shared and why?
