4nd th3 l33t 1s 3v3n h4rd3r

I came across it while searching for some phpbb v.2 hacks. I'm in the process of modding a version of phpbb v.2 for a site I'm doing for my cricket club.

I'm not sure whether theres a vB hack/mod available but would be cool to have in ones "posting armoury".... You know for those uber sarchy moments which periodically arise

Obviously modding vb -v- phpbb is different but heres the code and instructions FYI...
