Hmm, am I missing something or are resets pretty much only going to happen by consensus? Infected servers don't have defenses, so everyone can get in, and it only takes one person doing a disinfect every 6 hours (or more) to stave off the reset...
If so, I sort of like this.

The formula really isn't all that complex, it should be reasonably easy to reverse engineer if you care to. If math is good, then actually do some :P.
The basic format for the formula is something like:
power = Current HPD + HPD investment in hardware + (cost of improvement for highest version of every file typed owned) * some modifier + some reasonably small virus modifier.
I don't think power matters all that much, but if you still haven't figured it out in an hour I'll have some data that should at very least let you aproximate it...
As for this gold anonymity thing... What are you talking about? I've never really had any issues determining who has gold (though I have had issues determining who a given gold owner really is), but I'm fairly certain having gold only has peripheral effects on power (i.e. they can keep their files off their actual servers and lower power, and of course, gain power faster).

Well, I don't care about this one one a whole lot, and it certainly shouldn't be high priority, but it seems a bit silly that you can lose your connection to yourself. (At the same time, I don't expect an idea that proposes removing a disadvantage of IP-changing to be particularly popular, but I'm just throwing it out there.  ) |

I stole the sniffer and used it to show that it can be as deadly as the malware to a degree while I detest the use of sniffers in the effort to control heavily used hub of bouncing and DL/ULing, I only support the use of sniffers to protect oneself and scout for new IPs to explore, I did it to prove a point no matter how maliciously aggressive it may have been. Sniffers should only be useful on secrets and private servers, as a function of IP cataloging and not of password resetting, unless it is a direct attempt at recovering from a massive hacker attack. The addition of the protects are also a show at how deadly the sniffers are when in aggressive/selfish hands, that when the protects are up and the sniffer is reseting the password, you are granting a powerful blockade against any functionality and expansion necessary for Newbs/Elites to do anything to help increase their functionality and plasticity for their type of gaming style. As it may have been, I apologize for the action taken for my temporary control of that server; I am glad that those protects have been taken down, as I was going to do so when I got back today; to show that newbs and Elites should have necessary access to the servers even if it is used for file collection, or as a bounce prerogative to go to a different server. Even as such I am also done experimenting with sniffers on all domains unless it is my own for IP scouting and protection capacity.
Again I apologize for the action done on True Light #3 as it was only a point to show how deadly this item is when using the password reset function on heavily used IPs.
Umm, it wasn't particularly deadly, no one lost files, no income was lost, etc. People were just annoyed for a little while, and that annoyance had to do with your use of a bug, rather than the actual sniffer. What you did shouldnt've been possible according to this. PS: Revealing that it was you ruined my fun. :( |

wow the group that first was so against spyware now uses it it self. iam so disapointed in you guys. To my knowledge, SGP doesn't use spyware for the most part. Only one member does that I'm aware of, and as far as I know, that is only on 19 servers that are claimed (out of 305 secrets total that I know about). not only claiming servers that were empty and taken in by others - no you even take advantage of those who installed viriis on those servers.
As far as I can tell, SGP only tends to claim servers that are either empty when they are claimed, or already are filled with SGP virii... Going through the IPs on the list of claimed servers seems to verify this to me, but I could be missing something. i lost due to your spywares around 3k thas half of my income
If there was spyware on the server, and it was really from SGP, it seems sort of lucky if that is the worst that happened. i so dont trust in your words anymore - and the story i heard from one of my friends i heard today makes it even worse.
i lost trust in SGP
are there even any Secret Servers we can use? i mean your 60% claim includes more and more servers so if one finds an empty server that is not on your list yet - that server might get added 2 weeks later screwing the guy over.....
quite a easy living!
The SGP server claim list I see currently represents only 18% of the secret servers I have in my IP database, as such it is rather easy for me to find an unclaimed server... I don't know what is causing your apparent inability to do so. There are of course many non-claimed servers which have SGP virii on them, but you are free to disinfect these and upload your own without any retaliation. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a sniffer doesn't reset IP, just the password.
He seems to have typed "IP change" because he was so used to it on these forums, from the context, he meant password change, and the point still stands. |

What of us who prefer to limit the availability of our IP to the outside world? I can't agree with the conditions, so I won't register.
Then you have a few options: 1. Use any of the thousands of free proxies out there, especially when browsing this forum, any other forum, or for that matter any page that allows dynamic content. 2. Stop being paranoid. 3. Don't read this post, or any on this forum. 2 is preferable, because frankly, nobody here wants your IP, at present they could get it if they did, and it wouldn't be nearly as useful as you seem to estimate. Edit: Removed example of the above point. |

Apparently htmlentities is called twice... Turning double_encode off would fix it, but considering we still haven't gotten a stripslashes for our apostrophes, I'm not sure it'll happen in the near future.

That's funny, I was about to suggest something similar... There are about 100 NPC ips that currently fit the IP store's highest requirement, that seems a bit excessive.

this would more fall under complaints, but o well, look at this...
I even when this was posted there was stuff better than that in all categories (except the virus of course) on regular secret servers... None of those things were even rare finds. Software alone shouldn't disqualify someone from newbie protection if they can barely use it. Why are you trying to hide newbies's files anyway?... I'm starting to think the "newbie group" thing was just a sham to find new people to subjugate. |

Tiak, you used Fibonacci(1,1), which is too much of a classic for anyone here to miss.
I find if you don't start the game off easy, it never gets started. :P Anyway, just to mix things up, I have a different kind of classic, frequently presented as a puzzle, before I delve into the obscure. 10, 1110, 3110, 132110, x, y, z |

If implimented as proposed, it would be much more limiting than AP, after 2 weeks or so of play you would only be able to play about 5 minutes a day or so, it would be impossible to run even the defenses secret servers have available, and it would be pretty much impossible to disinfect/capture any virus of a reasonably high level... Revise/resubmit if you feel like making it decent, as this -could- have potential, just not as described.

180 AP to install a 0.5 file share virus?
Why do they even exist?
Aside from that with the size of them, it's more profitable to install more adware.
It takes 187 AP total to activate a File Share 0.5
Please don't spam with wrong calculations. Thank you.
A single adware that would take up the equivalent amount of bandwidth would cost 330 AP to install... A bunch of 1.0 adwares that would take up nearly the same bandwidth (10 less) would cost 416 AP. Both these adware solutions would make you significantly less money than the fileshare one, and would take less time to disinfect (assuming a high enough anti-adware version). As such, there is very much a point to fileshares (less of one to adware tbh). |
