Oh.... If you want, I can share the code with you (yeah: not the best design - but it works).

40000 posts to delete 'by hand' are a pretty difficult task! :niark:

I've done something similar in a forum, Arantor. I've prepared a php script to manage that... What kind of script did you wrote to accomplish the deletion?

Well, it's still going to be via a server one way or another... unless you can figure out how to do peer to peer communication in a browser in JS (which doesn't work unless both sides are configured to receive HTTP requests)

What about that?

No: to use a third party API that is relatively stable and very simple. :)

But nevermind, the TOS are very clear about not using pastebin that way...

There are so many problems that can be made through such a third party hosting; you're entirely relying on that third party never to change their API, authentication mechanism and so on, and it's particularly vulnerable because you'd have to supply the third party credentials to the Javascript which would have to live in the page all the time to keep requesting from the third party.

I've got the answer: pastebin.

Plus I can't think of a single non chat service that this wouldn't violate the TOS of.

And that's right, I've not considered that. :(

Ok, the project is in standby now: waiting the illumination! :thanks:

But if authentication is required, roundtrips to the server are inevitable.

But it will be enoug to load authentication credentials once. And... Yeah, I know that the credentials cannot be just stored in js. I'm just thinking how to solve that. :)

I don't know if this is the correct section, since at actual developement state[1] this thread is more a suggestion request. :)

So, I'm planning to write a chat client that is *inexpensive* for the server running wedge[2]. Inexpensive, that means ideal for forums that are executed on a shared hosting server. :) The system in my mind is very simple: I defined a simple protocol - something like:

Code: [Select]

[id_member_from:id_member_to:time]hello! :)

where id_member_to can be * for messages dedicated to all chat members and a valid ID for something like IRC query.

The only thing I need now is a free service that in some way can accept requests and store such formatted strings[3]. So the entire system will be done in javascript, with load only on the client side.

What suggestion I need? Well... I only wanted to know if someone knows for such a free service around on the web. :)

1.	I've not started coding yet :P
2.	ok, right, I've to write it for SMF now, but I prefer to write Wedge in this post! ;)
3.	I don't know if I can handle this with gmail, for example, where the subject is the header and the body is the phrase - but I prefer something more simple, like a free postit server or... I don't know!
