what is it you want people to do?????

Spread anarchy and merry mayhem in our wake

I want to know if anyone figures out how to make it show the viewers name, whoever that may be... not the posters

well, it worked for me. my name is what pops up when i use the code. what is it you want people to do?????

 

[DemitriousK]

of course it isnt.... it's a quick, cheap, and dirty hack

This does NOT qualify as an algorithim Demi.

It's a small procedure in a loop where X in the loop is equal to the names of the members in sequence until the loop ends. The post would then appear with the names of each and every person in the loop, visible as self to each one of them, where "self" is the X. In order to perform it you would have to either be a great Bot person traversing IPs or screen names - or be in charge so that you can bypass protections against bots flooding the board.

Geeze, now I'm hungry.

Cheap and dirty. Oooooooooooo I love cheap and dirty.

For the non geeky, pass over this please. ACooper, please FW to hubby

Actually it was more complicated than that for a number of reasons. First there no handy way to eval() the output via normal forum inputs... and most everything gets stripped away as it flows through the program execution (both in and out) by various filters. Second is that since all the filters run on both save AND display, even once the proper filter in which to modify the text was found it had to be a 2 pass hack... so that going in it changed from X to Y and then displaying changed from Y to Z. And even then... when and where the filters were used in the forum code was inconsistent. I had to shore up several of the more obvious bypass points before it was even remotely believable. There are still a couple of "exposed surfaces" left as it is (e.g. when you hit reply is showing DemitriousK, and you also see DemitriousK if you've subscribed to the thread to get e-mail updates...)

So: A) find a good filter to put the hack into

So the loop in the x = the loop of the x that equals the x in the loop...

Hey, it sounded great to me

Saje I LOVE that cat pic.

No if there is a Y

 

[Julie]

My take on the whole matter.... A person would have to have moderater capabilities to make this work.... And since I am not, I will just let it at that.

 

[jess2416]

Ok, if there is a Y we can say that the X in the loop equals the Y in the loop which means that the X and the Y in the loop equals the loops of the X and Y of the loop...

Heheh . . . takes more than a mere mod . . . it took a Mit.

 

[DemitriousK]

void main() { for ( i=0; i=1; i++ ) { i--; } return(0); }

 

[Renee750il]

You're such a tease, Mit

 

[bubbatd]

Crappy Doodle !!! I suspected Demi ( sure sleeping in ! ) and Bucky boy ( though I questoned his smarts LOL! ) , but never Renee who was so busy on the other deals !!!! Now I'm scared as to what my fellow Mods CAN do !!!!

 

[DemitriousK]

you suspected *ME*!?

 

[bubbatd]

....... of course !!! You're too smart for your own britches !!! Buckyboy is like a fire cracker with an unlit fuse and Renee is as keen as a fox !!

 

[DemitriousK]

And It Would Have Worked Too If It Werent For You Pesky Teenagers And That Dog Of Yours!
