Is that why Mike was able to bypass moderation on my blog? I can't imagine his IP address is still the same....

Hrm. Your IP address bypassed the moderation checker due to somehow you getting it to use the server ip address. The code in the ip getter did look odd when I looked at it years ago, but I hadn't ever seen it break, so I hadn't worried about it - I guess now I'll have to dig into it more.

I might need you to make some test posts on a separate php file for me or something.

Naw, what you really want is something like email where you can if desired run a server in your own house if you want and where the protocols like SMTP, POP, and IMAP are completely open and transparent. That way you connect peer 2 peer. Although pidgin does try to make a bad situation better, it's limited by the fact that you simply cannot communicate via IM directly from one network like AIM to another like MSN. An IM analogy you might consider is jabber.

Yeah, that's what Friendica sounds like it is trying to do.

I'd like to see something that does for social networking what Pidgin does for instant messaging, gathering them all into one interface. Don't know if it's possible, though.
