Lesson#2: "Hey, I've released this cool new plugin, BBDropFTP! - Ah, cool, I like this ..., but I'd like to have ... I'm also really looking forward to BBMail, are yo u still working on it?" -> might just work better than #1 below... =]

Lesson#1: "Hey, I've released this cool new plugin, BBDropFTP! - Yeah yeah, but when will you release BBMail?" -> not the right way to smoothtalk a dev ;)

(cont'd) ...and rather than keeping you waiting for a plugin that I will not have time to finish due the work, family and my other coding projects, I thought I'd let you know that it's just not going to happen. Feel free to call that lame if you want, but the point is that all us devs code for fun and some nice feedback every now and then, and so far I'd say we're all friggin' under paid... ;)

(cont'd) ...and while I understand you guys are really looking forward to a email checking plugin (which isn't that complicated to implement, just not that interrresting), people have been asking me about it for two years now, whenever I release something. And let me assure you xo0m, it had *nothing* to do with you, you were just the last one to bring up the subject... (cont'd)

Hmm, this might turn into a storm in a teacup, so I'll just clarify: I started working on BBMail, which atm is just a nice skeleton without the actual POP3 code, in 2002. I haven't worked on it since, due to bb4win, xoblite and my other plugins... (cont'd)

well excuse me for not keeping up on every chatbox topic. a simple no would have been easier. id go on, but i was always told that if you dont have something good to say to a person, you might as well not say anything at all

im sure someone would graciously take the existing code off you to finish it though, of course.

Pitkon: I can't add comments either; I click submit and it just flips to only showing the sidebar, then doesn't proceed from there. Brian?

For some reason, now I can't comment under screenies.

Hi again, friends! So good to c u again, Brian. Karl, the screenies function wasn't broken, just needed approval. I AM moderating, from time to time :) How do u think those newer screenies got up in the first place? :D

uploading works, but uploads always require approval and I don't think any of us are as actively moderating as we did in the past ;-)

Hey old friends, another old-timer hanging on here :) snkmchnb: Do you think it would be possible to get this site's screenshot posting function going again with Brian's help? (read: not sure if he'll be reading this himself so asking any other admins more broadly)
