yes, it IS sad that ppl do such things... which is exactly why the poster you replied to said not to d/l scripts from ppl/sites you dont know and trust. If you dont know enuf to tell a safe script, and exactly what it does, then you shouldnt be using it. The prob is NOT that mIRC allows you to use scripts, or with mIRC's scripting language, the prob is with ppl grabbing scripts they have no clue about.

No, not everyone wants to learn to script, but at least take the time to be able to understand one.
