All,
I'm hopefully taking the next couple of days off, and I hope I'll be able to sit down for awhile and catch up on a few things.
There are a couple of database changes I'd like to make, for starters:
1) add the throttling columns to the user table. I'll look through the old posts, but I remember SysKoll had suggested two columns, one for the last event time and one for the "density" or something. That seemed like the best way to go. We've been getting more and more abuse in this area, and I'd sure like to put in the two phase throttling we spoke about (first database, then file) - this will also open the door for sending messages. We might need two sets of columns, one for sending and one for receiving - not sure.
2) a lot of people want date restricted addresses, so I though we could add a date column (or actually a number column for seconds since the epoch) to enable this.
