I have a test site on Brinkster that uses a Database to blogg updates. I'd like to see someone implement it in the Snitz Forums for a portal along with an integrated login or at least one that can just pass cookies between the blogg and forum pages.
Check it out at http://www32.brinkster.com/nesgeneration/ |

| seems too simplistic. needs some work in my opinion, as compared to other blogs that I have seen. btw, if you want to see a nicely done blog integrated with Snitz code, check out http://www.rakkoon.com . |

Yes, it's simplistic. I wanted it to be that way so if someone were to mail me for it, it would be extremely easy for them to take and modify it.
Yours is incredible though. |

Rakkoon.com is my site, Dayve was just pointing it out as another way to do things.
Before you ask me, no the site's codes are not available for download anywhere and they won't be. |

LOL! Roland, thanks for being abrupt ahead of time. Now what did I do to deserve such a snippy comment such as that? Hmmm??
It's ok, really. If I go with one, it will be either Anacrusis or Bookie at the moment. Besides, I think you said yours could cause trouble for other people, and you didn't want to be responsible for it in relation to others using the code.
I read up (http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41921) about your code being made "unavailable" because you didn't want to be bothered with the fanfare, etc. It's fine.

Now, wasn't that comment a little bit too much over the top to get your point across? No great offense taken to split heads over. Just wasn't expecting it from you, in particular, since you have generally been quite pleasant to me in the past. Really taken back about your kindness at the moment ... dazed ... puzzled.
Cheers,
Etymon

| I had a lot of things on my mind when I wrote that reply. I see how it can come across as being snappy, and I guess a smiley at the end could've made it look "nicer", but then again, what more could I say about it? |

This blog is only an example of what can be done. However, my code is not stable for public release, and I am too limited in resources to be available to provide technical support for any release of its code. Perhaps another MOD creator can take up the task.

My code is stable as it's been running on my site for months now. There is, however, the possibility that there are one or more security holes or bugs (let's call them "unexpected features") hidden in the codes that could be exploited if the code was made available.
You're pretty much right about the support part. But, it's not that I don't have time, it's more that I don't want to give support, mainly because I don't remember what I changed, where the changes were made, or why I made certain changes. After all, it was never meant to be a MOD, so there was no need to document anything... Not to mention that I haven't looked at the codes in a long long time now.
Therefore I came to the conclusion that it'd be best not to give out the codes rather than letting people download it and me saying "if you have any problems, just fold your hands and pray for a miracle 'cause I won't help" 
Now see what you made me do... I still explained it all   |

Yes, the do help express emotion and intention a lot. Good job!
I was just trying to save you some words and some negative impressions you set by using those types of words. You may or may not have meant to be negative. It appeared that you intended to be though.
As a moderator here at Snitz, naturally, people are going to feel an openness to ask you about your code and also feel comfortable doing so because they see you as being more successful with the code. It just goes with the job.
By saying you don't want to be bothered with etc, etc, and etc it would be better to keep it short and not be so poignant (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=poignant) towards the requests of others.
That is why I summarized your statements with my statements as published below:

Your desire to help or lack thereof ... your ability to do the code or lack thereof ... your attitude towards others asking for help ... etc, are all resources and are taken account for in the too limited in resources to be available section.
Someone may be looking to hire you for something or even give you something like a donation. It is better to appear busy than to appear disinterested in others.
Cheers,
