Re: SQL help

I'd say if you can get your employer to pay for a course go for it! Even if you don't learn anything, it's good on paper and come review time you can push the fact that you're now 'qualified'.

Re: Free account time limit

Maybe free acounts should just be lumped together in the same Gal's, if they upgrade they get a free exile into one of the upgraded gals.

Re: anti-floodnet algorithm

No because those bot's arn't in the room for that time. You kick them, then challenge them. You could also keep a log of who's joined/left/kicked and if someone has too many ban them.

Re: VB.Net

Well any communication and data needs to be secured, even internal. But I get what you mean. I'd rather rely on MD5 and TrippleDES than SSL :)

Re: anti-floodnet algorithm

You can control your own traffic though. You could only initiate a new challenge every 2 seconds. That paired with the IP and maybe a mask check too would make the challenge even harder to get round.

Re: anti-floodnet algorithm

Yeah a whois would create traffic, but what I'm getting at is that a whois is'n't needed to get the IP info. It's actually included with the nick, your client just cleans it up.

Re: anti-floodnet algorithm

Would a whois help if you didn't need to go through P? I know Zombie networks where mentioned. Maybe if this was paired with connection count within the last X second's it would al least cut it down.

Re: anti-floodnet algorithm

If they got kicked for any message other than the yes/no though wouldn't that help?

What if you challenge them before the can enter? Make the room invite only.
