    Re-invent? More like coming up with it in the first place, as far as I’m concerned.

    haha, yeah, I was actually about to edit my post.

    “Invent” is more like it.

    I don’t view everything in EE positively. I’m a little bummed that I can’t add a rudimentary sort of social networking to my site because of licensing issues. I still wish you could nest forums in the forum module. And so on, and so forth…

    But here’s the thing… You can rant and rave about how you mean things positively all day, but when your tone is aggressive, people will take your words aggressively. I’ll gladly see your squeaky wheel cliché, and raise you a “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.”

    Also, it’s not only rude to try and bring the e-mail and IP tracing (which has already been pointed out is AUTOMATIC in most modern forum softwares) out to create some sort of reaction, it’s childish, and unlikely to win you any sympathy. It also speaks volumes that until Paul’s post here, no EllisLab employees had posted in this thread, instead preferring to be discreet and send you an e-mail, while you come back and try to blow the whistle and shout, for more attention.

    Forgive me for feeding the troll, I won’t do it anymore.

    Wow - you know maybe I shouldn’t have posted my response about the email I’m received from Paul. I not trying to get the community in a “tizz-E.” I don’t care about attention. I just was voicing my opinion and was a little disturbed by getting an private email regarding a post.

    However, again, if I have offended anyone—I apologize. I apologize for offending you, not for my views regarding the product.

    I hope you know I was teasing.  I’m not emotionally caught up in this at all.  I’m sorry you guys are.

    Peace!

    Me too stephenslater. Me too.

    I’m telling you - and i really mean this - this is the greatest online community in regards to a development tool/platform. The greatest!! Take that anyway you want. This community cares! Cares about the product, cares about the users, and cares about the company. It doesn’t get better than that!

    ...Now when can I get that Ecommerce tool!! :cheese:

    Eh, I’m not emotionally involved, either.

    Just something to do to distract me from work. ;P

    1.6 rocks. As someone who makes (made…) extensive use of Mark Huot’s static pages module (now renamed ‘Tome’) the addition of the built-in Pages module turned my crank just fine.

    I personally wish e-commerce would die. I’m sick of thinking about it, talking about it, and seeing EllisLab get pestered about it. (Actually ecommerce is pretty nifty from a user standpoint, but I can’t stand developing commerce sites). EllisLab will get to it when they get to it. Carry on!

    Yes, very British, I thought. You know, pip pip, jolly good show, stiff upper lip and such. Well, I got me one, at any rate.
