Wow - this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am very excited about the possiblity of integrating 2 usenet newgroups with my vBulletin forums, but I'm worried about doing anything which might endanger my hosting account.

1.) Can this script be run on a virtual/shared host? (300 other hosting accounts per RH Linux server, P3 800, 1 GB Ram)
Is anyone running this on a shared host, or is it for dedicated servers only?

2.) What kind of server resources would be required if I was looking at including 2 usenet groups which currently have 100 messages per day max?

3.) What happens if connection to the news server hangs? (lingering processes?)

Also, I am a little worried about the possibility of being targeted by a spammer who could use my forums to spam usenet and thus get my hosting account suspended.

4.) Is there any type of post rate limiter designed in?

5.) Is there an option to allow only moderated posts to usenet (or maybe an option to have them appear in the forum before being approved for posting to usenet?)

Thanks very much - this is a fantastic option. I just hope that I will be able to use it.
