I am working on a variation of this hack... Will be implemented slightly differently than the one available for UBB.
This will actually be a combination between Freddie's Star Hack and Karma. If you want to see what I am developing, I have posted a message at:

I am doing this now even though I know 2.0 will be out within a month or so, but I can't wait. Will deal with 2.0 when it comes out.
