Anybody know The-Fool?

iago:
If you do, tell him to get in touch with me.  I heard he made jbnls or jnls or something based on my code.  I'd be happy to promote it for him on my site, if he wants.

Quik:
im pretty good friends with him, and he announced his project on my boards. i will talk to him about getting in touch with you. im not sure if it's going to be open-source yet, but in my opinion keeping it closed-source is a bad idea, and open-source isn't so good of an idea either. im not sure what he's going to do with it, but im *sure* he would be happy for you to beta test it.

iago:
I don't plan on beta-testing it, or even using it.  But I'll tell people about it.

My only condition, like any projects I do, is that it's opensource.

If somebody backdoors it and runs it on their server, and you get caught, you're an idiot for trusting them.

If it's closed source and somebody is running it on their server, it would be easy with tcpdump, ethereal, iptables, and even a proxy program to steal the keys and passwords anyway, so somebody being able to reprogram it is hardly a reason.

The advantage if it's opensource is that people can verify that is isn't backdoored, and they can happily run it for themselves, or their clans, or whatever.

In any case, direct him to this thread if he wants me to advertise.  If he does, I'll put a sticky post on my forum and I'll put it on JavaOp's page somewhere.

The-FooL:
I know The-FooL.

You + Quik have convinced me, instead of keeping it private(or public/closed source), I am going turn the project open source.  

I'll probably put it up on Quikness's boards in a few days, after I have a chance to fix up my commenting and a few other odds/ends.  Once up, other people that know more what they're doing may want to try to modify it, which would be ok with me.

Here is the current topic (w/ screenshots).

iago:
Awesome :)

When you do, let me know.  I love you how you mimiced BNLS's protocol so you can use bots that require BNLS.  That's, like, totally sexy.

Good work, I'm glad to see my code going to good use :)
