Hacks Waiting in my to-do list to Port:
[vB 2.2.x] RealTime Template Compressor: Reduces page sizes, loads pages faster, saves Bandwidth 29.Aug.2003 85

[vB 2.2.x] Who might this New User be? 22.May.2002 162 => One note for who might this new user be hack: I need to find a different algorithm to port this hack because vb3 password system has changed so dramatically that it made this hack impossible to match new users for passwords. So this calls for some new thoughts and more work to port the hack. Thus this has lower priority in my to-do list atm.

As you can see I have quite long to-do list so I thank you for patience and understanding and extend my apologies if you are waiting for one of these hacks.
