here's something I've been wondering about - why are there public and private versions of the programs anyway? I mean sure, I understand that you don't want people to just come in grab the programs and leave again without contributing anything, but it's kinda frustrating to know that the program you're trying is delibaretly crippled so it doesn't work as well as it could...
For example, the SpudsCounter tool is quite nice, but I only seem to get 30 NP every ti'me I use it to play potato counter, which really is nothing - I can typically get 400 NP or so per play on average when I play myself and even though that takes a few more minutes I think 30 NP is ridicoulously low. I'm not sure if there's a private version of it that works better but that's what I think.
Sorry if I seem ungrateful, I'm not I think it's really cool to have this site and the programs and all that stuff, but it's just a thought.
