Yes, I got access to vbulletin.com. My license is valid all right, that's not the issue. The issue is that this old guy here, has learned programming much before classes were invented. I hadn't written one word of code for the last 10 years or so, before I got involved with vBulletin. I moved up the scale so I didn't have to write code. The fact that I learned php at my 48 and I managed to post this hack was a major achievement for me, with countless hours spend trying things out and learning.

I got so fascinated with php and vB that I started changing things to make vB suit my preferences. So my board, is heavily hacked, and the changes brought by vB 3.5 were enough to discourage any further work on this (and any other hack). Why? For the simple reason that I can't rewrite every single hack I've installed in my board, nor go through it and change every little piece of code I've changed, just because vB does not respect its users. There were definitely things that needed to be changed in vB, but others didn't have to change, at least not in the way they were changed. So I made up my mind that my board will remain at the previous version, for as long as I can maintain it.

So I completely lost interest on vB and I focused on maintaining my own board. The published API is very interesting for someone who can understand it. I can't. I don't even know what a class is. And I do not plan to invest more time in learning more things, for the simple reason that there are other things in my life that take precedence. Like my hobbies, my kids, my family (obviously not in that order). So I left AWS over to KirbyDE's hands, when vB 3.5 came out. Unfortunatelly, KirbyDE, or Andreas as we know him now, got hired by vB, right after he took over this hack and the man does not have enough time to work on it any more.

I do not plan to develop AWS any further, so this must be clear in everyone's mind. No more new functionality will ever be added in AWS. What I want to do now, is to deliver to the people who trusted me and installed this hack in their boards, a bug-less version, which will work with vB 3.5. This is the last I plan to do with AWS because I am just not interested in developing it any further. I keep adding functionality in my own version, the one I use on my forums, because it helps me and my moderators do our job. But that's in vB 3.0.xx, and I feel confident coding in that environment, as opposed to vB 3.5.

Sorry folks, I had to say those things once again, just to let you know where you are standing. I do not want anyone to have false expectation from this hack.

Time to go to bed, I have to take the kids to school tomorrow morning.
