"Introduction of Crazy Mofo"
"Introduction of hellsatan"
"Introduction of Matt"
etc..

Crazy Mofo I think you didnt get what this hack does. Please read the first message of the thread about hack's purpose.

Matt asked the standartization of message subjects in a specific forum and this is what this hack does. It changes the subject of messages if they are posted in a specific forum regardless of what user wrote for the subject field.

This has nothing to do with the message itself, so the post itself will be like others.

Hope this helps..

Thanks! I will check it now, how about the second bit? With it displaying their profile info in the thread underneath?

My friend Ragesk813 thought of a real cool addition for this hack.
Since alot of the time introduction forums can just be full of spam, we thought of a way to regulate this.

Upon registration, you also fill out an introductory section, with fields such as title, hobbies, intro-area, etc. as mentioned above. Then when they hit submit to finish registration it auto-generates a thread in the introductory forum titled with the subject the person gave and all the info inside.

Great idea no? Please somebody do it

This I think would be a cool idea.

I actually thought of this before too, as an alternative to the other method. It would be a cool hack

[Velocd]

It sure would be, that is why one of you great excellent god-like hackers out there have to code this!

[akaler]

yeah, this is a GREAT idea!

[Velocd]

Muahahaha, it sure is!

I would just like to say that this sounds like a great hack, and I would love to have it on my forums

May I suggest, when a user makes a intro thread, with all their info and everything, something goes into their profile like User x's introduction there it links to the intro thread of them. But, if they haven't made a intro thread, it says something like User x is to lazy to make an introduction.

Err... um, I think thats about all I can think of

BTW, this will be my Hack of the Month if someone gets it out

Oh what a cool idea about having the link to their intro post
