I dont want to be in the project, but make sure that this is secure from the project members to the users. Dont reinact the Doom3 Leak and have a version that impersinates people!
We've started working on something. I have done a simple conceptual design, and Flava's working on online coding right now. We're gonna make it pretty secure, trust me.
Instead of using AIM or IRC or MSN accounts compatible with it why not make it so that anyone who uses it can use their TDC Logon. It would make it easier to code for as you could link it to the Database for the site as long as one of the really nice admins gave you the address.
EDIT:
The other nice feature would be if you made it open source so that people could modify the app and make new skins and the likes for it but not edit the core of the app.
Making it open source would just make it more vulnerable to haxxors really
But we'll see. The TDC account idea would be pretty cool. I just don't know what sort of database TDC uses, and I only know some PHP and MySQL. Plus, the admins would probably have to give us the password for the database, and I don't think that's really gonna happen.
The source? Well that has to include the password if it's anything like PHP + MySQL. I think. I really don't know. Maybe it can be arranged somehow, but that is not a priority right now. It's not as if I own this site, eh.
If you use the TDC login thing, you would have to hack into TDC to aquire the password and usernames. TDC will not let you do this nor is this safe for the users of TDC for YOU are gaining access to theire passwords. Another reason why DC wont release there Users info.
Why would I want to hang out with klikkers but seriously, MSN is fine on my side. if it crashes for you then get one of those "all in one" things, or one of those web alternatives? I don't see what this will achieve other than what IRC already does.
Great idea I dont really like the idea of connecting it with other chat programs.
Just dont make it as annoying as msn (Blue flashing minimize bars, nudges, winks, sound when message is received, ads)
Reno: The TDC passwords are md5 hashed, I really wouldn't be able to hack anyone's password, just check if they match with another md5 string. But I understand your point. I don't like the fact that LIJI has the md5 of my TDC password either <_<
And again, I am NOT going to hack any databases to achieve this. It's the admins' (Or owners') decision if they want to cooperate with us, but really, I don't care. That is not a priority right now.
