Just a warning ppl. When chatting with friends and confidantes be aware that
if they log their chat text it could come back to haunt you if ever that
person is hacked.

You know that you have the latest in virus detection but does the person
that you have just shared your password with? The person that you have
shared an "intimate chat" with? The person that you just told about how
upset you where about your dog dying? The person that you just trusted with
your phone number?

PKs can do very little about hackers and trojens or about your chat logs
being published on other sites

But, good point, I never thought of that before. :-)

I am one of those that log almost everything. INCLUDING most of all my
bots. BUT I'm one of those that keep my VIRUS software up to par when
it tells me it's needed. AND i'm allways running that virus software
twice per week throughout all my 5 hard drives. YES even if i have to
shut running worlds to do it... It's better than anything that could
come along to harm me. With me.... It's going to be alot more than 10
megs of chat. As i have this bot playing music... They can read all
the music files [JFK2 DJ] Everybody_Wants_To_Rule_The_World.mid like
that... Hey... That is fine by me... and every so often they can read
the bot music changer commands and the bots reply... On Beta World &
AW & RPG world... and most other places i have my builds located. I
don't mind if someone wants to read all 200 midis names in this bot i
have running....

up something in a conversation, etc.

*shrug* That's part of what makes chat logs fun for the kiddies. I say let 'em play, it might end up teaching them somthing.

I know what would be cool if someone ever got to look at it besides
me... If a worm ever grabbed any of these two files and sent them to
someone in AW... It would be more funny than anything serious.
an extreme early propdump file for the world RPG [My best friend
eventually found out i was bot copying his world and that is how i got
to host it... BUT at first for about 1 month... I was bot copying his
world.

AND the recent 9 meg propdump file for Beta world... Got that from my
BOT about 2 days before AW went down the last time [The day before the
CY Awards] those would make wonderful reading to someone courious about
worlds lol
