BNLS

[CrAz3D]

I'm just wondering how long it took y'all to come up with the BNLS system.  It is really quite nice.

Ten to fifteen minutes.

As long as that?

Skywing first mentioned BNLS to me about, say, April 13, 2002 at 6:30:44 PM. I believe that was around the time he started working on it (maybe a couple days earlier). The server was hosted on Skywing's system and was not fully functional. I immediately added support for this server in a client I was building at the time. BNLS at the time did not support messages like BNLS_HASHDATA - instead, the new logon system messages, so we were testing with Warcraft III beta. Over the next week (wasn't constant working on it), Skywing fixed several bugs that were found, and I made the first logon with Warcraft III using BNLS (a part of EternalChat's advertising scheme =P).

Now BNLS is hosted on the Valhalla Legends server, 99 unique logon databases (as Yoni mentioned), and lots and lots of logins daily - mainly generated statistically by StealthBot and EternalChat (not offending anybody, this is just what I've been told).
