vBJournal for VB3

[spence2]

I think in all fairness, there ought to be some distinctions made here.

When Ryangel fell off the face of the earth, we were all stuck. Wonko the Sane ported it, only to have it banned from vB.org because Ryangel could not be found to grant permission. I pleaded the "nobody can find this guy" argument with Erwin to no avail.

So, I pm'd Wonko the Sane and he posted it on Kurafire's site. From there a lot of people worked very hard & were very generous to share their modifications to his hack. Oblivion Knight & Sabretoothe then posted their versions of this hack on vbhacks.us when Kurafire closed his board.

The distinction that I feel ought to be emphasized here is that yes, a lot other coders promised, hyped and posted about their fabulous plans ... brad.loo's could do the dishes and Kurafire's could walk the dog. Oh, and that fabulous chocolate flavored journal that won't melt in your hand mainly because you're never gonna get your hands on it. We beg. We plead. We suck up. We bow down. And along comes AN-net, and here is the distinction: AN-net is actually coding!

While I'm also frustrated and share your exasperation, I think AN-net deserves more respect for his efforts. He has kept us updated on his progress. He has furnished us with screenshots. He seems genuinely to be developing a journal system for this community ... and seems genuinely committed to share his work with all of us.

I certainly don't want to see AN-net discouraged by posts that seem to equate his efforts with those who for whatever reason are great at boasting and posting, but never quite get around to doing any coding.
