Trin...good idea, but mebbe in the future, let the rest of the admins know about it first? <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Heh, just wanted to give it a shot, I barely see any of the admins anyway. In future I'll make sure it gets discussed here first.

not shooting down the idea, I think it\'s a good one...just lemme know first so I know what \"we\" decided <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Technically I\'ve already tried this idea...didn\'t exactly work.

I think it's a good idea.. but not really sure how it'll work. You can ask people to code stuff, but then once they've posted their code anyone else could enter with simple modifications and put it down to chance that the code's are similar

I agree with you on this one, I can see a lot of code lifting, if not only from each other then from the millions of code sites out there. We\'ll see how it goes but I think this could open up a lot of arguments in the future. The other problem we\'ll have is ensuring first the code actually works and second that its decent standard. This is fine for languages we are familiar with, but what happens if we get a new member who can write a language none of us have used?
