Please, please please please PLEASE use hMod's propertiesfile code/method/hook/whatever. It's a pain in the butt switching over to Bukkit because of the prop file. DylanG
Flatfile databases in of themselves aren't bad. PropertiesFile is for settings, it's not a database. It was misused which is why I'll be glad if it's removed.
Yah, my friend actually developed a pretty decent flatfile forum software, but stopped updating it after several releases..
PropertiesFile is probably not going to be ported over, but there's going to be something better in its place. Edit: Actually, maybe not.
