Well, I am a server owner, I run a renegade server with rg & brenbot. But I get lots of feedback from the players that they don't trust rg and think it is a spyware. Yes, you cannot explain because nobody knows what your program is doing. Maybe it is a keylogger that steal password and send it back to the rg server. Maybe it is a cdkey stealing program. Maybe it scan for cookies and steal passwords. Nobody knows what rg is doing except the programmer of it. The worst part is, DJM & Crimson here always use bad language. How can we trust it!?

I think you guys are making a good job to keep the game fair, but please behave yourselves properly! There are too much bad language here & we cannot trust this site, the only thing to do is open source. Once you open source, everyone will trust you.

If you think that open source will let crackers know how to bypass it, I can tell you that this is a stupid point. Open source won't decrease the security, but let more programmer join & help you to fix bugs!

Thanks blazer for the xwisp! My dream comes true!

<Ghostshaw> duh
<Ghostshaw> its awesome
