I'm putting as much security as I can into it, and I'm releasing the source so that people can see that it's secure. If there's a security flaw somewhere then they can point it out and it can be fixed right away. Hopefully that will warrant leaving it up. The other one that got graveyarded could have easily been a virus and not actually a mod - or worse, it could have been a phishing agent that took a user's information and sent it to the maker of the mod so that he/she could get access to websites they shouldn't have access to.

I'm trying to tie it into the forums as much as I can, but yeah. The buddy list will make use of the friends/contact/blocked lists from the forums. With people on your friends list you can send IMs, people that aren't online in your friends list and people in your contacts list you can send private messages. Of course, if someone has you blocked you won't be able to do anything with them.

But since I'm doing this of my own volition as opposed to doing it as commission, it's not very high on my priority list. I don't even think I'd use it on my own forums (my members have no interest in downloading more IM clients)... I've got a few other things to take care of before I finish it. Don't expect it for a few weeks. On the plus side, I've got the GUI out of the way (which with Java the GUI is the hardest part).
