This is going good! We may even have some dedicated rendering machines in a year ot two! Sorry I can't help with the programming, I have no experience with anything. All I do know is that we definitely need an external manager, preferably running 24/7 on it's own machine (doesn;t matter the specs, as long as it's reliable and it runs) to log time for each IP, control the the signal channeling(?) (so more than one person can render at a time), and make sure that the incoming IP's are consistent with those who have signed up. I'd be willing to help out with anything but the programming which I can't do, so if yu need anything send me an email at maxikun@hotmail.com Oh and maybe we want to post in a new thread so we refresh interest in this and maybe if Agentsmith is nice enough he'll stick a link to the thread up in the top of the forum.
