deaths i think your best bet is to rebuild your hack from scratch without DW's code. once you do that then you can start thinking about making new hacks which plug into whatever.
Yes, I will. I'm not giving up all the time I spent coding the members area part, heh.
I couldn't remember which hack I used for mine, so I just released it, expecting a PM from the author of the original hack.
That seems a pretty poor excuse - surely you could have spent a few minutes searching. If you really believed that the author would just shrug their shoulders and PM you after you ripped of their work then you are very naive.
