the best way to show your appreciation ... is to give "thanks" or better yet donate $$$ to the coder -- donating $$$ (any amount) is always a good motivator and it shows your appreciation
a "real" professional could care less of any title or competition
This very thread is a good way to say thanks .. however, I don't recommend posting such threads outside of the "hack". The author may not find it otherwise.
The responses you get on a release are most of the time enough. But some people don't even bother to drop in a small reply.
And indeed we do provide a lot of support behind the scenes too (even a "new" guy like me) about other things than our modifications. But that's what a community is about.
I know we already have a comp for hack of the month, but how about one for coder of the month??
Reason:- I have been watching the thread regarding the re-release of IBproarcade, and although it`s a hack that other coders on here have the ability to do as well as Mr Zeropage, the updates, feedback and constant attention to the people whoare waiting for this hack deserved comending. He is constantly online, answers things almost instantly at times, whilst coding to high hell.
Personally, I think coders like this deserve commending so it shows on every post they do around the board, rather than it only being shown on an individual thread, ie the one that is HOTM. Personally I would like to show my appreciation in this way also.
On that note, I would also like to commend Zeropage for his work on the hack, as I have never seen anyone so commited to creating a hack, free of charge for members to use, with so much heart put into it. I have put this up in this section as I believe it deserves to be seen at the top of the board!!
I feel this will cuase more problems then fix. Alot in part becuase of people who have been here alot longer that would have one this had we had it back in the day. Plus I agree doing it would be almost impossible.
