I think I get it. So it's like "including" some code in a certain place in the code? Is that all??

I thought it was going to be more of a standardized method of calling certain functions.

Like if you want to start a new thread each time someone registers, instead of copying all the code around creating a new thread you just call build_new_post() (which surprisingly wasn't enough in vb 3.07). Or for a custom PM every time someone reaches 100 posts you call build_new_pm().

It sounds like this is very different than I was expecting.
