Hey, I just got done making a cool web application that allows users to create and host scoreboards on my site. Since armorbot is down now (I think), I thought this would be a good alternative for a while. Right now, it is not very secure, meaning people can easily submit fake scores, but I will be getting help soon with security. Anyways, please report bugs and what you think.

No, armorbot is back up now i'm using it for my game (although you can't edit colours and stuff of your board yet, i don't think). It's funny though, the other day before armorbot came back, i was considering asking you if you would host a highscore board for me on your site. I'll try your board out aswell and then choose between armorbot and spambot (thats what you should call it by the way) :D

Oh, well you should use armorbot until I secure my script. Once I do, then you can think about using mine.

Yeah. Also, you should add an option to add your own title banner at the top and also have position numbers (so instead of just having the nmes, you also have their rank). But apart from that, it looks really promising.

When you say a banner, you mean a image? If so, thats a great idea! And yes, I forgot to put ranks so I will add those soon.

Yeah, just so someone can have a fancy title. For instance, this is the armorbot version of my highscore board for my upcoming game.

Another thing you could try is a Small 16*16 little images that appear as bullet point things next to each row (the image should be customisable).

Do you have any encryption on your scoreboard? I just saw a new thing that was submitted called CHEAT!! or something. You typed in your name, the score you wanted to have, and it sent it to the scoreboard. After that came out, there were about 5 pages of people with a score of 214389534...etc.

ArmorBot had some problems with servers, it shared it's server with 5 other websites but now we got a special ArmorBot server which (hopefully) do it's job right. You can now access ArmorBot on ArmorBot.com .

We're preparing new functions so you can really customize your board, also new security tools are on it's way together with 4 new functions which I want to keep a secret.

Still your highscore service is a great alternative! =D

Ha, I would but it is banned. BUT, it is only banned because I requested a 30 day ban when I was leaving, but now I want to post so I have to use my alt :(

Btw, I will be updating it more today.

You're still using an alt to get around a ban, Jizz Butty.

Meh, we forgive woo.
