this is where all of you come in. if enough you tell me why the functions are needed i’ll include them. you can either leave comments or contact me. the next release is next week, and if their not in that version you probably won’t see them for awhile.

One option I would consider is to release them as a non-open source add-on (obfuscate the code to prevent stealing), sell the code (so you can make some money for your efforts) and have a rock solid agreement that allows you to withdraw usage license of the add on if used for spamming.
I understand your concern and I think those functions are pretty much bound to be exploited for spam once word gets out. I am sure there are plenty of people interested in your class that wouldn’t, but many after them will, for sure…
If you wanna really monitor things and make your life more complicated you could obfuscate the code and add a check routine that reports back to your server and authorizes usage of the script so basically if the report shows the user is exploiting your script you block the user from doing so…
Hey sid,
I’m working on creating a web app called scrapBook. To get the myspace crowd involved I was hoping to provide the ability to apply the designed page to your myspace profile. I already have all the necessary myspace css/html hacks figured out, now I just need to find a way to update the about me section of the profile. If you already have the code to do something like this, I would love to have it.
You guys are doing great work.
Talk to you later.
Hey Justin, i sent you a message. Thanx for the feature request. this will be put into the next (not this weeks) version for you.
Awesome thanks Sid
