Speaking of which, I don't think we should be tracking these sorts of stats as it only helps fuel some to act like children.
I want this forum to be more than it currently is.
<flame on>
And remember I am speaking as a hacker, not as a Jelsoft representative.
i must say this: when i started using VB, i didnt know nothing about PHP. but i'm a stubborn person and i dont like to lose, so i started understanding the mechanism and spending every day some time on php.net to read info and code snippets. so i agree with the line "you should spend more time working on each hack instead of trying to win some unimportant race to be the top hacker".
alot of people here don't know what is this: "respect for your collegue" and "help the community". lazy? yes i was lazy with one of my hacks once (vbHome) by not updating the code variables the right way. but i corrected all this when a user complained about it.
i personally consider myself lucky that i'm among this community. that's why sometimes i get a little harsh with people who insult others with terms like "lame", "gay", etc. this is not a way to deal with people. we are here to help eachothers, not to overinflate our chests.
how do i participate myself to this community? not by posting the "best" hack, but by trying to help others in need, with the little PHP knowledge i have. i'm not shy to see i'm wrong and to apologise.
there are some bad apples in every garden, as we say in romania. but i believe we have a good spirit community here. we just have to chisel ourself and learn how to act into our large family.
flame? why would people flame your post? all you said was truth and deep down inside of us, we all admit this. i do. and i apologise for this. i will try my best to correct any of the issues related to this matter (attitude, code, etc), even if dont see myself guilty of doing something. i try my best to help people with their problems and sometimes to come up with a little hack. but is like that, if you analise your actions, you start to see what you did wrong and you regret it. i'm sure we all do. deep down inside of us.
