Guys...

Thank you all for the kind words and support through the project. I am now fairly settled in university, but there are a few roadblocks that would prohibit me developing much further (or at least at a considerable rate)

One of these things is the internet connection. Although its a fast internet DSL connection, many ports have been blocked on the university connected both internally and externally. This wouldnt normally be a problem, but as you may know, getting good packets down the highly unreliable port 80 is a nightmare. It can be done, but it would be a major step back.

Another problem (in some ways connected to the first) is that I only have access to one machine in my room now, as I left my laptop at home to save space. It is difficult to create an application like this using two machines networked; and it would be impossable to use one. Some of you may remember me private messeging you over MSN to try and get me to test something at one time. This is because I was using two machines, and I needed a third to see a certain affect, or fix a bug.

The last reason it would be hard for me to continue with the project, is the amount of work and lectures I have to attend and submit. Although I love Neowin (and this is certainly one of the best communities I have ever been part of) I cannot afford for it to take over my studies.

I would like to say a big thank you to the people who have helped me test certain features and support me through the project. These include EnIgMa-PenGuIn, and matt74441 for the great support, RSi for the bandwidth and hosting he gave to the neowin messenger server, and all of the others I have forgotten to mention. Thanks!

Finally, of course I would not like the project to completly die. Quite the contrary - I would love to be able to log into Neowin Messenger soon! So heres the deal. I'll give you the Neowin Messenger and Neowin Messenger Server VB6 source code. It's everything i wrote for the project. In return you must not complain about the bad structure, misspellings of variables, shabby code, and lack of comments! :p

Can whoever was developing this program last please PM me or email me the source. I have just developed an application very similar (like IRC with private IM between hosts displayed in a list like in MSN) , and believe I have something to add to this project.

/Edit. My bad the source is on the page before this one :blush:

/Edit2. the url to the source doesnt work, or even staticfish.co.uk

    • Really? Use a better search engine https://www.google.com/search?...ourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
