Is it allowed?

Hi.

I wrote a little program which refreshes the SA:MP forum every X seconds.
Is this allowed? I heard a people saying, "thats not allowed, thats DoS"

Just refresh? Like when you press F5?

If so, then this is completely fine.

Why do you need to do that?

You know what would Rock? A Flash forums. Sweet effects + it's all live. No need to refresh.

a) The same effects can be achieved with javascript without the need for arbitrary plugins.

b) Flash sucks.

a) You suck. JUST KIDDING. You rock 8D.

b) Yes, flash does suck.

c) I was thinking of java, but it's not really as visual a thing.

I heard Silverlight was good, but I can't install. It says I need Visual Studio, but it keeps leading me to Visual Basics, C++ and C# >:(.

Why do you need to do that?

Onlinetime hax0r :p :>

Just get an iframe and Javascript - get Javascript to refresh the frame every 10 minutes or w/e.

Yea, that would be possible too, but i dont like these html/javascript stuff..^^ I more like EXE applications^^

[Zezombia]

Same,

What exactly does YSI do? I just downloaded it, put everything in the proper place, pasted over the compiler, and I get a bad nickname error on join.

It's not a plugin or anything :s?

EDIT:

I downloaded YSF, but it says:

Loading plugin: YSF
failed.

I tried YSF.dll as well, same. Everything is in the right place

Hmmm.. Whys that? If you use javascript you wouldn't have to download, install or keep open any programs.

[Zezombia]

But EXE if for the win so... yeah...

[matt2127]

Silverlight isn't bad.....

With javascript you won't need to update the frame each amount of seconds, there is a trick in javascript that will get info out a another .php file without reloading or go to other pages, but it will have to load it you have a large .php file.

YSI isn't a plugin. It's Y_Less Server Includes.
YSF (Y_Less Server Fix) is a plugin.
