Who says I wasn't able to install the hack? I was able to install it just fine, schmoe. Of course, it took me rewriting part of the install script in order to get the templates to install for all styles, but I managed.
GREAT! There have been 329 successful Arcade installations. How many people have posted here that they had problems installing this hack? And of those users, how many have received a response from John stating something to the effect of, "You don't know what you're doing. It's not my fault"? If you're going to have such a self-righteous attitude, it would be best that you keep your hack to yourself for private use on your own forum.
As for the unsolicited e-mail... that, my friend, is called SPAM. So, if you got hack of the month, you would e-mail everyone bragging about it? Chances are the people who installed the hack also keep up with the thread, so really it's pointless. Hey lasto... I just busted a nut. What's your e-mail address? I'm so excited, I could shout it from the rooftops - so I figured I may as well e-mail you to let you know about it as well. Please.
Point being: if John wants to be seen as someone who contributes to the vB community, he better change the way he handles his business. If things continue in the manner they are going, you won't remember who he is by the time vB 3.2 is released. I've seen it happen... it's up to him what he decided to do about it.
