The bug is probably because it stored database connect information in the program's configuration file. By giving away the database connection info you're just BEGGING for someone to fuss with your database and mess up your website. Or it was sending unencrypted passwords through network traffic that could be monitored.

I'm considering writing a program for this, I've got plenty of good ways to send messages from the server to people, but I'm still trying to figure out a good way to send messages to the server.

EDIT:

I've found a way to do it well, I'll try and build this mod.

UDPATE:

I have put together the GUI, I just need to throw in the code behind and make the product XML file and we'll be good to go.
