How is this mod coming?

[Highway of Life]

Been working on it bit by bit this week. -- Right now I have to deal with a bunch of phpBB.com stuff, but there are skylights along this tunnel, and I?m getting close to another one.

HoL's analogy made me think of this logo for some reason [/off-topic]

Highway, is there any way you could send me the code you have so far?

I need something like this that will just allow donations, send PM's, and add a user to a group automatically ASAP (all of which I can add in if I know how to find out if the donation was actually sent or not).

As soon as I get the STG Project all setup, I?ll add you and you can view all of our little code hacks and MODs that we use.
