This discussion is pretty distasteful. The HotM rules were clear from the beginning. It's pretty undignified to complain about the rules after the fact when they didn't go your way.
Look, you have the seventh most installed hack in the history of this site. That's a huge accomplishment in itself. I bring this up because it ought to be obvious to anyone who's worth a dang that your hack is a useful, popular hack. You don't need the HotM to validate your feelings on this matter. By complaining, you just make it easy for people to perceive you in a negative light.
And by the way, this is not a flame -- merely a discussion.
is not about complaining matt. is about trying to find a solution for certain issues. i wasnt aware about the 8th rule until molinary and firefly point it out. as i said before, every time i say something, people complain. is not a problem with me anymore. i have the perception that people think i want to have my hacks to be highligted with a HotM... you are so wrong. most of my hacks are worthless, especially the old ones where i had no experience at all with VB. i made only one decent hack (and even this, part of it was firefly's work), that's all.
More conflict about this... how many times have I seen this with many different people. I personally think HotM prevokes some anger between fellow hackers.. which I have seen.
I think the store hack was the best out of them all. I've found many sites that use it, and I am looking forward to creating a better one.
