This is an awesome idea....I think nexialys has an excellent point and that will make it an invaluable product.

Very nice a idea; thanks a huge bit for starting this, hopefully anyone with sufficient php skills will be able to "finish" it :)

cant it be placed at the start of session?

that's what i suggested... ;)

I use the PEAR Cache library for some of my more esoteric hacks, happy to write a PEAR compatible version if people feel that PEAR is an acceptable pre-requisite.

Of course... if someone can write a datastore version it would probably be better :)

this would be better in the fact that we need these addons to use the vBulletin protocol/codes ... or why would we code a software that big if nobody use it.. :)

Yah, this is very cool b/c we need this... we have some abusers that like open proxys.

As to the pear suggestion, hmm, would that be a stopper for some folks? Is it available on all hosts using PHP?

I might be able to be helpful with cron and cacheing things in the file system or database. I'll be back sometime after jelsoft does their release to work look at your code. For the moment, I'll subscribe to the thread.

I'm very happy that the plugin gave so many positive reactions. I look forward with the last "fix" for this one, because of my own lack of php-skills. Thanks a lot! :)

This idea rocks!

*subscribed*

Is anything happening with this hack? I think its a great idea if the speed and load issues could be worked out.
