I've done the most testing that I can in the short amount of time that I have. There's a very good chance that I missed some things.

Feedback is always appreciated! Tell me what you think.

are you sure this is allowed? i know some scripts aren't

I know you cannot post programs that are malicious, like ones that crash servers and such. But I don't really consider this malicious personally however I might be wrong and this could be considered too malicious to post on the forums.

I wasn't sure if this was either. I remember I found a forum definition of "malicious programs" somewhere, I just need to find it again. If I remember correctly, it considered malicious programs to be ones that modified the file system, attempted to hide code from users, basically were viruses/worms, etc. I'll find it again and edit this post when I do.

EDIT: I found it. It's at the bottom of the forum guidelines from Advert.

Now to interpret this program with (hopefully) the least amount of bias possible: (tell me if I'm wrong)

First definition 'spammers': The user could use this program to spam people, but they could also use the built-in CC chat program to spam a chat network too.
Second definition 'file deletion/hiding': This program does not even touch the file system.
Third definition 'joke program': This program does not modify the user experience on the host computer. However, it could be used to send extra traffic to a base's controller or something of that nature.
Fourth most general definition 'cause grief in any way': This program can only truly cause grief through the sending of information. Not that I condone malicious behavior on servers, but someone could use it to get back at another player who already caused grief.
I know. I sound like a politician.
