Is it just me?

I've added my own versions of hacks too - in fact, if you carefully look at it, it's EASIER to hack. I managed to add a site-wide points system integrated with donations etc etc - took me no time at all. The functions integrate similar code from different files into one file - before when different PHP files use the same code to do the same thing requiring multiple file hacking, now you edit 1 function.

A good example is functions_newpost.php - this has code used by newthread and newreply - you just edit that 1 PHP file. Very cool.
