Haha, we'll see, but for now the validation server is back online.
Still, I don't think it's very helpful. Generally it will crash when you run it due to missing resources, lol.
And I think the file it defaults to running is unfortunately part of the distribution, at the moment. Which means if you change it and run it, the updater will revert your changes... makes me feel like I should be working on it still, or something. Well, I didn't get a response from the contract guy yet, but maybe if I get my functionality on Storybook done today or tomorrow and he doesn't get back to me, I might try to get the CE resource distribution systems up and stuff. Unfortunately, it's a lot of work, not something I can just squeeze in on the side. I need to get my Overlord protocol working! XD
If it's useful and well coded, approve it. He (apparently) modified the resource for the better, and the original creator has indeed disappeared; there's no need to not approve potentially useful resources because of such a small hiccup.
It's apparently a bit of a pain. I might try to figure it out...
Handled it. I'd already posted in the thread. Basically, the resource is completely pointless. Unless he can prove otherwise, somehow. Which he said he would. And hasn't. So GY'd 'til he gets around to it, at least.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
