What about GioTool ?!

or how about vbFinallyAProfileModIsComplete ?!

haha "vbFinallyAProfileModIsComplete" -- Only problem with that one is it would only be appropriate if the mod is finished.

Hi Friendly! Thanks for posting! I want to stay away from the word "interactive" because Psionic Vision already has a great hack called Interactive Profiles made already (www.visionscripts.com). It is great if you're wanting to add more advanced friends and commenting features to your profiles, but still lacks the ability to style the look and feel of your individual profile easily. A CSS box to insert CSS just doesn't do well for beginners that have no programming experience in css at all.

Agreed. Gio and I both agreed the name can not include: "ster" "space" "interactive" "gio" or "oints" in the name.

As for the names, i've seen some great suggestions so far. Remember that "interactive profiles" is already a hack and is already in use. And try to not use the word "gio" in the name, as it isn't just Gio's hack!

Thanks.

Keep those names coming!



UPDATE NOTICE (JUL 13):

I have been PMed by a vb.org admin to remind me not to promote any commercial hacks or turn this into a discussion for a commercial hack.

So, I'm going to have to tell you guys to try and focus only on the name suggestions and if you have feature requests you'll have to email me or PM me separately. I need to keep this thread following the vb.org TOS as closely as possible and will not break them.

Thanks everyone.

Open source and free hacks are terrific, however I think your comment is uncalled for especially given that it's a complete assumption thus far.
If these gentlemen spend time and money to create a hack that scores of people obviously want, I don't see why asking a few dollars for it should be such a big deal. Again, I'd rather pay a reasonable fee than see this project disappear.

This isn't meant to restart the paid or no paid argument. Some people can afford the time to create phenomenal hacks - God bless them - yet it would be a shame to exclude and demonize those who cannot afford the time to code free hacks. These are individuals, not huge corporations for crying out loud.

That said, it behooves Toolblast and Giologist to be upfront about what this hack will be so we'll know what to expect.

Thanks Friendly, I appreciate your comment.

Smiry, this is not a place to discuss the commercial hacks. I would be happy to talk with you outside of this thread though, just PM me your email address.

Getting back to business, great names you guys are coming up with. Keep them coming

Sorry Smiry. I would really like to discuss this hack, get your feature list, thoughts, feedback, etc. but the rules at vb.org permit me from doing so.
