DChapman is wearing out the "Zoints" name

[SCRIPT3R]

you could always edit out any instance that you don't want anymore... if it bothers you that much.

So the guy hires a bunch of really good programmers to make some hacks and create a pretty cool profile system for forums, what would you rather have him do? If he released them without "Zoints" then they'd be his, and he'd be getting all the credit for it.

Kudos to him for not wanting all the glory for himself!

Bear in mind if they hadn't released so much stuff and it wasn't so popular then you wouldn't be seeing so much of the name. Lots of good stuff there so you can't really argue with it. I do prefer the "vB Something Something" convention though.

But I don't find a website name as remotely as annoying as putting your username in a mod's title. I dunno if it's self-promotion or ego or what, but just...no.

I wish there were couple more guys like David so we can have more quality hacks.

Could not agree more.

To add, I had a very bad first impression of Zoints at first. I followed the original thread here at vB.org for many months. Could have been almost a whole year. Now I am about to implement the tags hack, the zoints local hack and possibly the seo hack. We need more people like DChapman, IMO.

I totally agree.

I think it's in his right to insert the "zoints" tag on his hacks. He coded it, spent the time and effort to release hacks, no cause for any complaining whatsoever.

My question, is it becoming a trend to hate on zoints? it appears so.

If anyone is offended by this. good.

I just know how it feels to contribute and the complaints still come rolling in.

there's zoints hate? i didn't know. tbh i appreciate the work that mr chapman is putting into the community. there was a huge low point in terms of variation of things being offered and zoints has done wonders to turn that around, we honestly need more innovation and add-on's.

I do not see a problem.
It's the best way to organize.

< Subject > first and then < Function > second

Subject is what the hack is for.
Function is how the hack relates to the subject.

How do you organize your hacks on the many projects you work on ?


If your a person that wants to search for all items of a subject
IE: "Zoints" it will be hard to find threads if there is no menchen of "Zoints" in the title.




I place:

Module CMPS: infront of all the vBAdvanced CMPS blocks.
PhotoPost vBGallery in front of all the gallery hacks.
Shoutcast infront of shoutcast hacks.
