1) You can't enter anything beyond weapon/armor right now and can't choose any area explores. Someone could try and sneak in an ID into the newbie school, but that's why not everyone will get add to the master db aka policing...

2) My idea is to have just another website where it's hosted and a forum where suggestions/additions can be discussed - probably pick a canned service like hostgator. If ya want an id added, you can post it where others can mark it as illegal (approved accounts required so no anonymous posting, etc - probably give some Dio VIPs and maybe some Imms VIP access to police). If any post is marked as illegal by anyone, it's hidden immediately until reviewed by one of the mentioned above. Those that post bad items or mark items illegal wrongly, get punished. If the id is kosher, one of the few people can add the item into the master db.

What I'll likely do is when the dashboard starts up, you'll be able to pick local or master db. If you load local, it'll pull the file on your machine. If you load master, it'll download the db file from the site with the latest.

3) Well, someone has to have rights. As I said, it'd be probably a mixture of people I trust like Mek and some other ex-Imms, some Dio VIPs and maybe some Immortals. It'd really revolve around whose interested in doing such a thing and shouldn't require a lot of people. The plan as I said is to start with like store bought items from major cities and see how it goes.

4) Well, ya you can do it with lore but you have to spam it to see what's valid and what's not. Pain in the ass but just saying it's possible.

5) No no, the idea wasn't to replace PBF - it was to keep a list of who you've played over the years. I can tell ya I hardly remember characters from 5 years ago without looking to a notepad doc and logs. This would just keep a list of who I played stored locally for only my benefit and keep PBF/graveyard links for quick access. Nothing more. Maybe something fancy like make a forum paste that you can copy from the dashboard and put as your signature in the forums for when ya give a goodbye thread and what to show who you've played over the years.

6) Ya, after I finish everything revolving around items I was thinking of someway to tackle logs. Right now I just log everything and use Notepad++ to search through them all for stuff. It'd be nice to have that all locally aggregated for more use. Or did you mean to publicly share logs?
