An idea...

[Mystis]

Has anybody ever come up with the idea of a standardized coding system of hacking? For example, the w3c regulates the standards of (X)HTML, CSS, WML, etc. An organization named the OTC I believe regulates the coding for Litestep (a shell replacement) themes, and there's others as well. I had the idea of making something like that for vb hacks. I thought it might be possible to perhaps write a class with all the practical things that might need to be done in a hack installation.

PHP Code:

$killhack();
$original = "Welcome to our newest member, <a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$newuserid\">$newusername</a></smallfont>";
$replace="Our latest victim, <a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$newuserid\">$newusername</a>, brings our kill count to $numbermembers";
$changetemplate = $quickreply->changetemplate('forumhome','$original','$replace','re'); 


Something along those lines I'm not that great of a PHP programmer, but I'm sure that the vb guys might be able to come up with something along these lines. What do you think, is it a worthy idea?
