Hi is there anyway to program this.


Computer 1 sends message to computer 2
message goes to a database and records the message for future reference
database sends message from computer 1 to Computer 2
Computer 2 reads message and the cycle repeats

The reason i want to know if this is even possible is that the mods/directors don't see my PM to another player
is there a way to make this happen and can it be possible to make the chat boxes more then 2 players?

It is possible with networking and storage APIs

You can do this. However, be forewarned: Any message you send will be sent to every single computer within range. If there's an ender modem running 'repeat', that means every computer in the world.

As a solution to the problem KingofGamesYami has pointed out, is to encrypt your communications. A simple forum search ought to come up with some encryption APIs you could use to help secure your conversations.
