Well, I'm not talking about who has more lines here.  Jblaze is still a developer, even if all the lines he wrote has been replaced, this is still his mod since no proper license was ever introduced, thus, I need his approval before I can change the license on this mod.

I will go with MPL 1.1, solely because this particular license allows to fully give credit to the past contributors without taking in consideration the lines of code they contributed.

Fair enough, you gotta do what you gotta do. Technically if all his contributions were rewritten the discussion would be moot, but it is better to be safe :)

Well I wouldnt ask Suki to do anything Suki doesn't want to and even with you aying you doubt it matters, Suki would still most likely want JBlaze's go ahead so here's hoping we get it ;-)

What I meant was askin u to do it without his permision. On that note, I sent him a PM asking if he could please stop by here to read the past few replies ;-)

I can't do it without his permission, wouldn't be the right thing to do.

I want my work to be respected and for that to happen I need to start by respecting everybody else's work ;)

Thank you for letting him know about this though.

Good point but he did already freely provide it for use though, so...

Also, interesting idea... in addition to the post count thing which I assume the admins can set as a to use or not to use thing meaning they might not want to go by post count but just have the posts done for everyone.

What about this as a setting admins can choose to use.

Create posts only for users active in the past: <settable number of days>

Doesn't matter. Still requires permission, even if it is implied, it does need confirmation. That's something most people don't often realise about combined works.

Good point, on that note... I tried to send a PM to shambles because I don't know if he is still watching this thread but it seems he's either blocking all PM's or just mine which would be weird since I dont ever recall offending him.

I 'watch' all threads  8)

I stopped allowing PMs for reasons many others have.

I have no problems with folks using anything I post on SM.org  ;)

weet, so it looks like were just waiting on JBLaze now, Suki, did you catch the suggestion I made ?

There is a setting for that already:

Choose whether users must have been online in the previous x days to receive a post

Wow, I feel like a dumbass lol.

For rme I figure anywhere from 15 to 30 days should be good.

Interstingly enough, could that and the post thing be used together so it works like a either or instead of conflicting ?

Ex. User has to have either x posts or have been online in the past x days for a post to be created.

If they're not online in the past x days, I doubt they really care about their birthday being celebrated...

@Suki, it's fine by me, and looks like Arantor is OK with it too. Enjoy :)
