loco,

thanks for checking out the site and trying to register. also thanks for letting me know about the image verification. It was working in 3.0.7 but with 3.5 RC2 it has stopped. I'm still working on it and have disabled it on Shardex for now.

I did not use any blog software, just simply repurposed existing vBulletin code. I will be happy to release it once I adapt it for 3.5 since that it what I am currently running. I will probably wait till it turns gold though to minimize redevelopment efforts.

I have found that the blog, and submitting the RSS 2 feed to blog syndication sites has been very effective in increasing site awareness and website traffic.

I spent most of last night redeveloping the code and other bits to make it work with 3.5 and so now I just need to compile the different elements and provide the proper documentation.

This hack is really just a mix of other hacks and using conventional methods in somewhat unconventional ways. I also need to find the original hackers so I can site them and give them their credit. I forgot a few of them?

Should be done by end of week, The only delay now is a huge project at work that I need to complete - it is taking a lot of my time as well.

Cheers,
