May Hack of the Month pulled...

[MPDev]

Pretty much. You should let the mods and admins do their job and while it's okay to express an opinion, doing so in such dramatic fashion usually only puts everyone on the defensive and rarely changes the outcome.

[Tralala]

Why not just PM the mod author, he'd fix his hack (remove the auto-click code that is now afoul of some new rule) and then continue along happily?

It seems like all these rash moves (HOTM poll pulled, entire hack threads deleted) are adding fuel to the fire of discontent around here. It's shameful.

Exacly my point Tralala.

If everybody pulled out and you were left over, perhaps you can consider yourself the unofficial winner ;D

Our hard earn work for this month was trashed and replaced. Its one thing to recreate the HOTM, but to recreate it in the middle of one and rob the users who were in it is another thing.

[MPDev]

Trashed and replaced? Rob users? I assume your mods are still there and functioning as normal; it's not like the modifications themselves were removed.

I think what you mean is, 'My chance for glory was taken away from me.' and so, if it helps, you can have my decal from last months HOTM.

Get over yourself, LW; the drama-queen routinue is wearing thin.

Someone seems abit jealous of my status around here? Why though, I just code hacks nothing more nothing less.

MPDev: Watch it.

I just took the time to read this and while I don't know you personally MPDev, I dislike you. I have been reading a few of the threds on this site today and you have gotten to be one of the biggest kiss asses I have come across.

You don't get it do you? The simplest, and "fairest" thing that could have been done was to either remove JUST those modifications from the running or to privately contact the authors and ask them to remove the hidden code. The contest would have gone on, no one would have been harmed, and this thread would not exist.

Let me make it a bit clearer.

Livewire is concerned because he worked for his position in that poll. If tomorrow the "Myspace Hack" were released, his chances of winning that poll are gone. Why? Because that modification will easily be voted as a winner as it is highly anticipated. THAT little mpdev is the issue here.

HE IS being penalised if that is how this ends up panning out.

For the record, I don't know Livewire personally. I have never chatted with him except maybe in one of his release threads. I have no interest at stake in any of this but I completely understand what the problem is.

I am guessing I see it clearly though because my head is not up the staffs asses. (I am not saying the staff want your head on their ass. It is apparent though that your lips are there.)

You have status here? My bad, I don't pay that much attention; of the 44 mods I have installed your name hasn't appeared once. I'm sure that isn't a relfection of your ability, I just don't have a clue who you are.

But you do alot more than just code hacks as evidenced by your posts in this forum the past few days. You'll have to excuse me if I chuckle a little, I'm always amazed by people with such big egos that they think it is only their opinion that matters most.

Seriously, if you need a HOTM award that badly; you can have mine. Clearly it means more to you and, well, I'm a sucker for charity cases.
