Ya know crazyshorty89, it's sometimes ok not to reinvent the wheel.
I bet there will be a lot of folks that will read this and the light should go on! Thanks for sharing it. I doubt anyone would agree that I'm a 1337 though.... they think I just run around on the forums flapping my jaws. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

We have a pretty extensive "Glossary of terms for newbies" but could always use more.
Just make sure you credit any authors, and/or get permission if need be before posting....
Sometimes that just annoys ppl when their stuff is used on other sites without asking. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter
