In case you hadn't noticed, new developments on the CSC have not been forthcoming lately. This is due to a couple of reasons, and I just wanted to talk about them so that you don't get the idea that this whole CSC idea was just vaporware.
First, the most obvious reason for this delay has just been my schedule. As most of you know, I am an adult with a full time job, a home based business boarding horses, rental properties, and a wife. I only do IP.Board related stuff when I have time. Lately, most of my free time has been spent trying to keep fixing up our house. With the colder weather moving in, we have had to devote a lot of time cleaning up our basement that the previous owner did a botched job of "finishing"; the cinder block walls were covered with 2x4s, insulation, and drywall, but the walls themselves were never sealed to keep the moisture out. We have had to rip out all of these walls he added, kill the mold, drylock them, and clean up so that when we do turn on the furnace we aren't circulating all of the basement mold throughout the house. So when I get home from work in the evenings, and on the weekends, that's typically what I'm working on instead of coding the CSC.
Another factor that has me less inclined to devote huge chunks of my time to CSC development is the fact that IP.Board 3.0 will be out soon. I have seen the Customer Preview of this, and have doen a lot of thinking about how the CSC will work on this, it's really going to take major changes to get things working properly on the new forum software version. So for me to spend more time getting this ready will really be a lot of wasted time right now as I'll just have to redo things. I still have the code where I'm at right now, and am still planning features, but am not actively adding code at this time.
My current plan is to pick this back up once IP.Board 3.0 comes out, and I have my other stuff upgraded. It's really actually quite close to being publicly visible ready in its current form as it is, so I wouldn't expect it to be much longer after IP.Board 3.0 comes out that I can preview the CSC to the public. In the meantime, please please please don't hesitate to give me feedback, ask me questions, make suggestions, etc. I really want people to let me know what they will want this product to do, so anything I can do to facilitate that I will.

I noticed there was not much development going on on the CSC lately (that I could see) , although I never had a thought it would become vapourware, its too good to let it go. Going from your other posts, you are very busy with other "real life" things these days, quite understandable. It's know it's going to be a very nice mod and I don't think there's any "pressure" for it to appear till you are ready
Know what you mean about 3.0, hopefully soon we shall get our hands on a download so we can see how it all works.
Had to have some damp-proofing done here last month too, not too bad though (apart from the cost
