| yeah that's right, date is a variable... i think it uses 6 or 8 bytes (but i have been wrong before...), i wasn't sure if time was a function or variable. but i still don't really understand how to manipulate it [correctly]... |

| Alright i got bored so i was playing with the Time, and Date variables... you can manipulate date by doing Date + 1 (would increase by one day... cool), i don't really understand Time however, if i just do a debug.print or msgbox Time it shows the time, like i assumed it would, but if you do time + ... |

Oh okay.
Just out of curiousity, does this have any real advantage over just checking the names of the programs that they're running, and just auto-banning them that way? That's what i was about to start working on, because it would be more effective than simply speed hacks alone... |

| "Region" was the name of my class, so if you named it clsRegion or whatever, just make sure you dim it as clsRegion rather than Region. |

Yeah that works. It's how i've been doing it for a while... after i rewrote all the MS stuff in binary i realized it was easier to clear everything that way than it was to go back and do it all by hand.  |

| Heh, why not just go with 23 then? Most people would have a pretty hard time noticing what was going on... then as soon as they tried to FTP it wouldn't work... and they'd probably try to spend a good amount of time trying to fix it. (Until they quit out of the game...) |

XP Bug? ... are you talking about XP itself (...yeah it's a bug)?
But seriously, you should be okay as long as you have the latest microsoft patch that patches the last patch that fixes the hole in the patch that patched the service pack... patch. |

| mirage uses 7000 by default, the Elysium/Konfuze sources use 4000 (i think...), it just depends on what you have open... you can use pretty much whatever you want, as long as another program or service isn't already using it. |
