Again, an excellent idea from Jae.... WSH will be downloaded only when Scripting is enabled in the Preferences. By default, it will be disabled.

As for the security, if I were you I wouldn't be afraid... as I said, scripting languages are quite limited and there is no way that using a script along, someone could get your password... to do that, they would have to program a COM object in VB or C++ and distribute it along with their script. Baiscally, if the script you downloaded has a joint DLL, OCX or EXE file, it's dangerous, else, I don't see anything the script could do along except for signing you out automatically just to annoy you . On my web site I'll list all the trusted scripts, verified by myself so that peoiple who can't read scripts can rely on an existing source of information.

For the traffic on my web site now, thank you for your concerns but for some monthes now, I'm already paying an extra for additional traffic, which brings my site to 10GB/month. I'm currently using about 6GB so it's ok.

Last but not least, I've seen that one of the most popular requested features is text-based games.. guess what.. you'll be the ones who will do them as this is an excellenent way to use scripting... text base games can be pretty complex and very interesting but from my programming point on view, I just have to notify the script when a text is received and allow the script to send it's own text.

The fact that the scripting feature will be disabled by default does not mean that no script will distributed along with MP2, keep that in mind, so my "scripting contest" is still opened. Scripting will be available along with the first Alpha version of MP2 so that you can start working on your scripts asap

Patchou.
