OK so you're developing a new protocol? Have you planned this protocol and how will it work and how exactly will you instant message people with this thing? Sounds like good ideas but i think you asking for more programmers surely shows that you're not too sure on how to create this protocol.

Do you have any idea what it means if you develop a whole new protocol?

Think about security, error handling, buffering, etc, etc. You can never be sure that messages reach the other side or even in the right order. Seriously, I wouldn't even consider making a new protocol.

Just take an existing protocol, Jabber would be a good one since it is open I believe.

The point is to have a different ( than PMing ) way contacting someone! With this program or with whatever else, nothing will result to if nobody uses it! Maybe we should improve PMing by making it something a bit more instant! :unsure: I say this because as the people above me said programming a new protocol isn't easy at all! :(

What language? Im relitivly profecient with Local VB (as in i havent done any web based VB, ive only seen it done.) Do you have a paticular languae made up? Or are you going to use SQL with a VB like GUI? Im willing to sign up for programming, depending on the language.

SQL is not a programming language... it's a query language.

hey jase i thought it was cancled becuse last time i checed or tryed this it was shtdown becuse nobody waned it

but any way this messenger needs to be coded to fit any IPB forum but there should be locked in links for neowin lol

ok and heres how it works

to connect and get your contact list it uses the data on ipb but when you login it also uploads your ip so when you chat to someone its a stright connection

offline messages are just the pm

the chat area would just have to be someother forum thing idk

and yeh jase knows all that so best of luck jase

...

a Neowin messenger called iMessenger... which lets you browse forums... and contains flash... and uses Neowin Message board PMs - surely then you'll need access to the Neowin database = not gonna happen.

Have you done any thinking about this project?

oh, you're coding it in VB? good luck

I could write a messenger for neowin easily, but there would need to be a program hosted on neowin.net or someones personal webspace.... hang on I have some website

ill be right back

EDIT: What am I talking about... it cannot be hosted on my personal webspace because the host program would need to be running 24/7. If anyone is up for this on a fast internet connection it would be grand. They would only need to donate the bandwidth for the sign on's and sign / offs as the chat can be IP to IP

I could also GPL the code so you can be sure in your mind that nothing dodgy is going on

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By Defiantly · Posted

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.

      Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
