Yes, hopefully someone is deleting all posts with too big signatures

Ok, that's what I was thinking, I thought it was getting big aswell, I'll go fix that.

Grok, I think they are mostly talking to him and Feanor.

A bot running as a cgi on a web site probably won't work well. Even if the server does allow cgi (which most free providers don't) there is likely to be a timeout after which the cgi is terminated. So your bot won't stay on, it will just periodically login and stay on a little while.

Set it up as a Java applet that talks to a custom server on the web server. Custom server basically broadcasts its chat events to all the clients.

Would you be able to use DHTML? i dont know much about it but I saw it in a VB6 book.

Clarify: Are you doing this because you're cheap and want to get a bot online without staying online 24/7 yourself, and you only have a web host? Or do you have full server access to a dedicated or near dedicated server that is online 24/7 on a fast connection and want to provide b.net channel events to the web?

$5 on the former.

Me too, but St0rm.iD's suggestion applies more to the latter, so I thought I'd make sure which one we're talking about here...

Give me $50 and I'll host it for you.

It was. Do try to keep up. It's new name is:

BotDev.For.Dollars.

That's a brilliant idea! Make all the newbies PAY!

Grok · August 12, 2003, 06:53 AM

CrAz3D, reduce the dimensions of your signature image, so I don't have to do it for you.

Adron · August 12, 2003, 11:26 AM

Didn't he already reduce it once? But I agree it's still too big.
