Hi roland, yes, I understand, and actually do agree with you that it should be easier. Personally I know several people who are not concerned with stats at all, and just want to play the game, so Mauth can completely get in the way in these sorts of situations.
I wonder if it might be smarter to have Mauth allow all server connections, but only save stats for verified players?… -Or simply allow unverified data to be saved to any other site than the agrip stats page?… -Am just brainstorming here for a second; how does this sound?… Smiles, Cara :) On Jul 20, 2008, at 9:57 AM, Roland Engelsma wrote: > I know that it won't change stats or server locations, but it does > change a > lot of things if your server can't accept incoming connections from > other > non-local computers...
