Hello.


I think that there should be a subforum in the programs forum for people to post CC Viruses.
Really, a CC virus can't do much harm, if something messes up, you can just break the computer and move on.
A staff member would probably want to post a sticky thread on their as a disclaimer warning users that the sub forums contains CC viruses and whatever.
Cause really, the ComputerCraft forums is partly for educational purposes anyway isn't it?

I think it would be cool trying to make an awesome virus that freezes a computer up and making it bypass CC anti-virus software, and then trying to make anti-viruses to stop other peoples CC viruses.

Thanks, mitchfizz05.

P.S: For some reason I keep typing CSS instead of CC!

Are you kidding me?! We don't and never will support malicious code on these forums. This is the reason that all programs must also be released in plain text and not in compiled Lua code.

Not to try and sneak onto peoples computers and be a pain, just for educational and experimental purposes, it's not causing and real harm.

I had a feeling that my suggestion wouldn't be taken well.
