It was just a design choosen to get the site up and going for now. Improvments will be done later. It takes time to script up PHP and PERL. Beside.. we don't like stealing scripts or in some cases.. "Obtaining them from sites that offer them for free". We rather be original than be a copy in anyway shape or form when it comes to web design and scripting. The idea of being known as a "script Kiddie" is not a pleasent one.

I thought "script kiddies" referred to wannabe hackers who don't really know how to do any original hacking, but use pre-written scripts and software to hack for them? During my recent interviews with other companies (looking to get a better-paying job) a number of them asked if I would be able to take a piece of javascript (for example) and customize it for the purposes of the current project. That isn't stealing code, it's being efficient. Why re-invent the wheel when you can just modify one?
