Faggots

You prob­ably noticed that today, almost the entire day, the Dur­arara chat was down. The reason for this is that some­body pos­ted the link to it in the Steam Dol­lars group: But that wasn’t the actual crime, since the actual reason for the little apo­ca­lypse chose the name Sasako. They star­ted, and oth­ers fol­lowed, to spam the beau­ti­ful chat with unbe­liev­able stub­borness that has to be men­tioned. After around 2000 mes­sages, the server stopped func­tion­ing. And today morn­ing, as I saw this (it all was hap­pen­ing while I was asleep) I took the chat down to pre­vent fur­ther crimes on the poor script and to upgrade it with equi­val­ently unbe­liev­ale powers.

Now it is upgraded and back up, and it wouldn’t be pos­sible without Ryan A who prac­tic­ally coded everything today. My new weapon is ban­ning IPs, and since it does track the IPs now, I could even report spam­mers to their ISPs… So, spam­mers, watch out.

The other thing is that the per­form­ance was improved, as the logs are not stored hard­coded any­more, but as JSON arrays, which allows more dynam­ical functionality.

So, let’s have fun again! And who will dare to go againt me once more will feel the wrath the Lich King didn’t even dream about. ♥

    Ban­ning IPs?!?! D:

    To be hon­est, I think it was inev­it­able that people would spam it with non­sense, and I think, since there doesn’t seem to be any “rules” on this Dol­lars Chat, that they should be allowed to post/spam whatever they want. Unless there really are rules and I’m just not see­ing it.

    Spam­mers have SOULS TOO, YA KNOW!!!

    Dang that’s messed up. Would a pass­word func­tion be pos­sible?

      I’m not sure… But shouldn’t a chat not have pass­word? But maybe an account may be useful.

      I’m not com­plain­ing. But the chat func­tion is bet­ter to have only an account with a unique chat name with a unique email address. That way, you can lessen the bur­den of spam. The pro­gram can also have lim­its on how many times can you chat like 1 mes­sage per 3 seconds. Well, but per­haps it is still just being imple­men­ted because the chat looks like it’s still in the beta phase. There are many pos­sible ways to decrease spam.

    Look at page title to guess what I’m think­ing of all of this.

      Shut the fuck up =D ♪

      Some people like it, some not, but you don’t have the right to try to des­troy things just because you feel like it.
