One of the factors that draws visitors to MASH UP is the fact that we have competitions on the site. Earlier this year I had written a competitions hack to integrate that module into vBulletin so that our visitors wouldn't have to register twice on our site. I never considered publishing my code anywhere until someone asked for it on vBulletin.org. I published the code for my competitions hack on that site early this month and little did I know that it would be quite popular.
I always thought a competitions extension was not something that many would want. How wrong! The extension has been installed by 61 people and has been translated into French and German already. My 15 minutes of fame!
