It's not too bad with the JS. and once you start diving in and actually
learning the structure of the way everything works, you'll (or I did) will want
to start tweaking more and more.. until one day, I actually learn enough of
this code to start writing apps for myself.. I've learned a lot by looking at
lot of Echickens apps and Eric's stuff (Message readears, listers, voting
stuff) and of course the mods and load directory. 

Whats bad about be is I work backward, I'll read the code and try to get it
running first without reading documentation, I really hat documentation and
just wish there was maybe a little primer and tips in the JS code itself (which
most of the times there is, especially wit EChicken) and sooner or later
everything will become just plug n play.. pretty much.. I know this is what
they have to be going for with the load directory.. all apps can work on a
standard set of rules, just to make that much easier.. 

I have a hard enough time keeping my BBS running.. it has'nt crashed in a good
while now, thats why I really, until some more updates come through, don't want
to rebuild it.

HAHA.. lol.. some of the scripts and apps, stubs etc I've written to McGyver
this BBS together I would not want ANYONE to see.. but yo know.. it keeps it
running with very few errors here and there, and no crashes.. :)

Good luck with your project.. I've always wanted to customize my door sections
and get away from the default listings, but for as many doors as I have, that
would be a lot of work, even with the xtrn_sec.js. So I shall just leave it as
it is :)
