About Site Code

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

To admin(s):
-Would y'all consider having a copy of the forum code and data anywhere to be downloaded? (NOT including user data.)
-If we wanted to make a feature for the forums, do we need the site's code? Or do we just go to Simple Machines and grab a copy of the original? (Under the same version: 1.1.18)
-If I decided to make some features, would they be considered as a feature for this forum if they are good enough?

One project idea I have is to revamp Clan Requests... with some random-ish ideas.
-Have a page where Leaders can set up their application.
-I'm not sure if the application should be sent automatically to users as a PM when users click a button? Or perhaps the applications will have their own pages. (Most likely the latter.)
-Perhaps leaders can be optionally notified somehow when applicants view the application.
-Make an option for if the application can only be viewed if the member is unaffiliated?
-If you submit an application for a different Clan while in a different Clan, have a warning that you'll leave your current Clan to go and join it if accepted.
-Applications are sent to Leaders, the leaders can choose to accept them into the clan without the requirement of an Admin.
