If one were to have 1000 lines of code that all executed another text, which executed a different 1000 times, that sent 4999 (this is by code I wrote, but I didn't realise it's potential untill after my msn froze from attempting to send it. one more charactor and it'ed hit 5000 (I'm using a parameter as an emoticon).)

I think that .BAT files are dangerous and yet they still are there. RE: Dangerous quick-text exploit by Patchou on 11-16-2004 at 10:17 PM Note that you can't ask a quick text to send 1000 lines of text, if I put limits on some thigns in Messenger Plus!, it's for that exact reason. As far as I can see, you cannotdo anythign but flood yourself and if that's the case, then it's not an exploit at all . If found a way to flood someone to the point it completely freezes his Messenger or crashes it, using anythign in Messenger Plus!, please email me at mplus@patchou.com with the instructions to reproduce the problem. However, I feel pretty safe to say to everyone else reading this thread that the risk that this kind of thing could exist is very close to 0.
