What does the fact to offer the possibility of attaching htl files force people to use HTL?

vB.org made a rule every hack has also to be released as txt installer version and HTL now supports creating txt files as well.

Your way is forcing people who want to use htl to make the hack entrys themself.

I don?t see the problem in allowing htl as well (simply make a rule txt files have also to be released)

The second point is "With template mods almost no one will release a non working copy and if they do, trust me no one will use it."
I never said that some releases non working hacks but there are quite a few hacks made for beta or gamma versions that don?t work in RC1,2 or 3 cause the template system has changed.
And for many of these hacks there is no note at all for wich version they were released and after installing you have to read several pages to find a fix here and there and sometimes don?t even find help at all.
(eg. take your Forum Spacing modification as example. )

I think you should spend some time thinking about a better way to manage this site.
Right now it?s very chaotic and not very helpfull
10k members and a few posts only every day speaks for itself.

There is much that has to be done but I?m confident that you get it back on track.

Best of luck
