Or randomly putting people in a miserable users usergroup just for kicks. :ermm: :tired:

I apoligize, i am a little confused. Which one is better, IPB pro arcade or v3arcade? I am assuming those are two add ons that allow you to upload flash games on your web site and let users play. How much would IPB cost?

Both arcades will be free when they're released Gold. You can buy a $60 branding-free option at v3arcade which will allow you to download a beta copy of v3arcade now.

I have used both and find IBPro so much easier. So much so I want to send them and MrZeropage money.

The thing that is making me choose IBPro is the requirements that v3arcade will have to install games. You will need to allow there server to execute code on your server. Turn on allow_url_fopen on in the php.ini file. I don't view that as good.

If you are a hosting company with many sites, once you turn this feature on for your one site it becomes available to all the sites on your server.

You can use an .htaccess command to do this but it will allow anyone to execute code on you site.

There are only a few exploits out that will take advantage of this allow_url_fopen on feature. But if a whole Bunch of sites do turn it on it won't be long till more exploits follow.

IBPro seems the simplest and smartest choice. Not to mention it's ease to administrate.

I guess I ll wait for IBPro, I dont think my hosting will allow me to execute code. Its shared.
Thanks!

yeah that dont sound to good to allow them to connect...

It isn't good! Apart from the security risk with allow_url_fopen already mentioned, you'll be sanctioning the upload of something to your site and server that you don't know about. Presumably, all you do is select a game title and whammo, scripts are uploaded to your site. You won't have any idea what is being uploaded until after they're already uploaded. Too many security risks for me! There's safety in public releases because any exploits in the code will be quickly discovered and publicly reported.

ibProArcade will be *free*

Some technical difference is that ibProArcade is compatible to both v3arcade- and ibProArcade-Games and even to PNflashgames. Another thing is this new version comes along with alot of integrated feature like Tournaments (2,4,8 Players) and automatic Game-Installation for ibPro-TAR-Archives and v3-ZIP-Archives ect.

Just wait for the Release-Thread and its screenshots :D

I've been running a v3Arcade with over three hundred games. I'm interested in giving IBP pro a serious look. How many games can I get with IBP?

I know you're not charging for it, but I'd be very happy to make a donation, if I do go with your version.

There's anywhere from 1500 to 2000 games now for IBProArcade. ;)
