The idea is this....
You may have certain hacks installed on your forum.
Someone else might not, but still wants to use that template.
The hack code can be live on your demo, but must be commented out in your submitted code.
This would allow someone the choice of being able to use a hack or not. What we are trying to avoid is having your template code break the board, because a required bit of code cannot be found in another file.
We will be testing submitted entries, and any entry that does not load properly because of extra code that is not properly commented probably won't win.
Note that this contest is being judged on the stylistic values, and not integration of hacks. We're talking html/css tweaks, colors, graphics primarily.
Allen (and the rest of the Staff), bring it on!
