Would this be against the rules? 2006-04-27 02:33:06

A friend uses a PHP script on his site to display his MySpace blog. It would be simple to add to my site, but I'm wondering if this could be considererd a bot or proxy? It would be fun to do, and possibly the kick I need to get into PHP, but of course I won't do it if it's against the rules.

That should be fine... I don't see a problem with it. Sure, it's sort of a web proxy, but that's not what we're trying to avoid with our "no bots" rule... We're trying to avoid IRC bots and other similar things that maintain persistent connections.
Have fun!

Great, thanks! If it seems to be hogging resources, I have no problems taking it down. And I'm sure you'll let me know.... :)
