    No, you need proof of residence as well. A utility bill should suffice, but if you can't get your hands on one; go to your local municipality and ask them for a letter confirming your address, and then give that to your bank.
  2. I'd like to join, I like posting on forums. But it's a hobby, so when it is done just post me a link. I would like to see what you do with it.
  3. A_bertrand is right. Although, MCCodes is suspectable for session hijacking. Smaller exploits with custom made - or poorly - modifications can lead to people being able to actually steal the cookies trough common XSS(Cross site scripting) methods. MCCodes, by default, does not make use of any cookies (the login script is an exception) so the base isn't vulnerable for this. But - I have seen modification developers make use of them. I'd say you check and/or log the sessions, and checking them to see if they are really accurate. There are many tutorials for this. The other suggestion I could give, that I use personally, is creating a unique ID for each player/visitor each time they visit the page. There are many things that go wrong with this system, but it's the most solid I have ever used and seen. For security info, as you requested, I'd say you firstly secure all the global variables and queries being passed around in MCCodes. They are messy, indeed.

    As far as I know, you only need proof of residence and your ID, and then also the small amount to deposit into your account. I think they mean "proof of residence" mate.
  5. I've written a few education articles and scripts. I don't know exactly what you require, practical content or educational? Please let us know.
  6. Normally, after removing every possible MCCodes written function, I write up my own item class. I have about two or three that I use on mostly everything - even custom engines.
  7. Like Zeggy said, can be done both ways. There is actually just one database for them all, as I Facebook does not provide you with it(other than a partial piece from theirs where the actual FB API comes into play). Some people prefer to run the games from frames, other from FBML. Your choice, either works.
  8. There are ways of encrypting and retrieving streams(or in this case, code) from another remote server. Zend Guard is something I'd never use personally, I've seen many ways of actually "decoding" the scripts before my own eyes. Encryption is the only way to give clients data, without them seeing what it really is. Unless you are compiling or encrypting code, really anyone can read it.
  9. @bladewolf2010: I'd think Firefox is a rock(useless, pointles) and Opera a Ferrari(Fast, reliable, the original). Chrome would be a Space Shuttle(fast as hell). And rockmelt, well I'd say a stick. @S.Cosmin: base64 is an encoding so it can be decoded by anyone. Using an encryption might be better.
  10. Confront the torrent site, with a referral to mccodes.com. - That! is your best best. They normally respond even if it isn't requested from a legitimate party.
  11. Height definition is missing.
  12. Note that you need to include the jQuery API to use jquery syntax. Also, I can see that you have four identical elements using your "vote" class. This may cause problems with the script, so try renaming each individually. Though, I actually agree with a_bertrand, there's no reason for this script to replace "all" data. As I'm looking you simply want to update a vote count? Try using a container for that.
  13. Not a single, every. And super is just a title that makes you feel important, even superman has to pay taxes. Oh and yes, the dictionary prevails us all.
  14. imagine a child reading that man! 'mommy i don't wanna join this place, there's people that wants to take little boys to their basements and ask them for sexual favors!' that would be so wrong and weird on so many levels... And since when is djk a admin? Isn't she/he like the uncontested social butterfly of the forum? :P
  15. pfffffft! But it's not fair, you're bullying me! Ima tell an admin on you. Lol
  16. yes old man. It would apear to be so. :P long time no see, ben. I'm still looking for a new nick though, but master f00(djkanna) does not want me to change it!
  17. One thing I have to mention first, in the first post of the thread: the link given has an somewhat outdated method. Second, I wouldn't suggest going for a tutorial when it comes to the FB platform, it's not designed for games or medium sized applications. Most is simple page tutorials that adds a connect button and displays the session info, and a small array of information from the UID. When you eventually get the tutorial in place, not only will you struggle to have it implemented into your website, but you would have a hell of a time trying to figure out how the API actually works. I'd say you go to the documented page for FB API, and choosing what method you want to use. They have made it harder to get the information you need, with the new page layout but just dig deeper to the source code and look through it. There used to be a list of methods a while back. And a good knowledge of PHP is very much required in my opinion. Plus try to learn about the communication between FB and your client first, it will help. Second, the Javascript SDK and PHP API serves different functions. 'nuff said. Third, @Lilith: If you're creating a new site, implementing the FB connect would be much simpler if done from the start. Trying to figure out what should go where afterwards gives especially me a headache most of the times. ------------------------------------------------------ PS. Me and HD decided to abandon this whole modification for MCCodes due to the lack of interest. Funny.
  18. Not many people use flash as their primary income as you need to be quite talented in the design aspects of it to succeed. It's a fun thing, but with the new advances in other scripting languages it's becoming less used. A script versus an animation file, a script is smaller and can have direct access to the DOM. Flash is great as an independent application, though but limited. Through in a few tutorials and references will automatically attract some members to begin exploring the specific field. I myself haven't used flash as a primary development tool, but there are options. Most designers tend to use flash more than a high-level programming language because it is easier to learn and use. With actionscript you can move an object with a few clicks of a mouse, while with something like C/# you need to create or import the object/shape first and then define specific xy coordinates to move from and to(which includes calculating every aspect of the sphere and screen size itself), which requires a bit more time and understanding. Even using an additional 2D creating program takes more work. On a side note, since AS 3.0 it has become moderately more powerful, enough to contend with others. I still vote yes, broader is better.

    Yes, me. Might be lame in some ways, like high-fiving yourself but anyways. This is informational, and half advertising yourself in some ways that would cause more bad publicity than good. I'd like to know from the people who know me on here, and other people that I might not remember but have done some work for in the past how their experiences with me was, and the type of work I did for them. Whether it be bad, or good. I feel that it is a good thing to start by adjusting yourself, by means of what people think and say about you - may it be either good or bad. I'm not very active on the forums, that I know, but then again that isn't my point here. My point here is to get my strong, weak and utterly horrid points about myself from another eyesight. I'm not always on time with some of the work I do, but it has been due to either technical faults(like a GPU fan exploding, a hard drive becoming corrupt, or even simple things such as the weather) at my end, or the time-frame was just not sufficient. I'd like to say I have a high standard of programming, but I can't judge that for myself. I normally use the most efficient code I can make, but it normally is also ugly or long. So I'd very much like it if you people can give me some input of what you might not have liked, or did. I'm preparing to do some pro bono work for people that have good ideas and initiative, but cannot do that themselves. I don't mind if people start criticizing me, I would naturally be obliged to defend myself, but I don't think it would be so good for the entire forum. So try and keep it mildly chilled.
  20. Your could have put it up in higher resolution, or smoothed out the edges. Other than that it looks pretty good, anyway. @Danny, stop . putting . down . people . who . try .
  21. @Paul: Domain registrar is based in the US, and they are sizable. They should have complied to the DMC act within a few hours, but I have no updates on that. The hosting provider, even though they use Globex lines(partly US based), is based in the Netherlands(some may argue, but that's what my tools proves). All I can say is that, they have switched from domain registrars. But I agree, any illegal activity is a crime and should be dealt as such. If lawyers has been contacted or informed of this, Ravan would not be up as we speak. So either the legal personnel acquired by MCCodes is inferior, in ways of dealing with their hosting company - or MCCodes does not have the funds to pursue legal action against the company. The last theory sounds correct, even though you can get legal help from companies you pay on a monthly basis(wich is also a very small fee). The whole anatomy here is that something more needs to happen from MCCodes side, or they should pursue better legal advice. On another note, MCCodes may employ a legal company based at the same location to the company, which would speed up things.
  22. Mind you a_b, there are some Flash developers here. But it's not their platform of choice. Actionscript is one of those "in-the-closet" things, most people know it, easy to adapt to it, but only serves a small goal. I'd say yes, mainly due to the fact that this is a type of programming forum in general and people's knowledge should be expanded to include Actionscript/Flash. Plus, less people here uses C# than Flash, if "some" are allowed to broaden people's knowledge on C#, then Flash (even though it's a total waste of time, and rarely get's used) as intolerable as it is - should also be allowed.
  23. The fastest way I can think of, is by storing it in memory. But it wouldn't quite fit. And a flat-file database would be too slow. I'd also be interested, or in actual, I'm just curios.
  24. I'd say create a VIP area. Simple. People who show they want to learn can get access, and people who show they want to help can get access. This will only require one usergroup, and will be very easy to maintain and create. Plus Jordan, you already lost. :P
  25. In order... It's also called "Optimization", not optimism. 1. By a few nano seconds, wouldn't actually notice it. 2. Yes, only selecting what you need from the database speeds up queries. 3. Same as 1. 4. Same. 5. Not really allot, array's is mostly used because it's easier to manage on a large scale. 6. On the contrary. PNG is the smallest between GIF, JPEG and BMP. With most aspects of MCCodes, optimization isn't really a big factor unless you have a hefty amount of users(10k+). The only thing you need to worry about is being able to push content to the user as fast as possible. EDIT Danny, using sprites only reduces the number of HTTP requests required. It makes the website load somewhat faster, but the images are actually larger(not by allot, but they still are).
