Re: [OpenVerse] ideas on room passwords.

[Dave Gale <cruise@openverse.org>]

The key will not be any more secure than telling somone "pssst! The password 
is XXXSUpahGayPr0nZZZ!" it'll just be a text file with a password init and 
the name of the room. It'll be in a list, you pick the key from your list of 
keys and use it to get into the room.

it just seems more fun than a popup window that says

--------------------------------------

Please enter the password ___________________

[OK] [CANCEL] [EMAIL ADMIN AND BEG FOR IT]

--------------------------------------

or maybe it's not.. I dunno :) I guess it would have to pop up something... 
the keyring list in this case with one autoselected if the room name's match.

Ya know, After listening to the attitudes coming from many of the VP users 
towards host stats,  I'm thinking this might be a higher priority than before 
to entice users to stay with OV... This could be just the l33t thing they 
need since we don't have ops,  kicks or bans. They seem to want some reason 
to kiss someone's ass or hate someone,  or fuck someone over. (I want a key, 
she gave me a key, she won't give me the key, he gave me a copy of the key!)

Someone will give me shit for saying so - but perhaps these two years with a 
very small community are because we just don't have any powah trip for users 
to play on. 

But then, thats why I don't have ops and bans and kicks... hmnn the duality 
of reason.

grumble.
