Default Port Change

Anyone who wants to can choose to listen to ports other than 6346. In fact, many people are already using 6347, 6348, 6349, and 6355. By spreading ourselves out over a larger area, it makes it more difficult to track specific users, but in now way would using another port isolate users from one another. There are always bridges between the ports being used (i.e. people who are connected to both 6346 and 6347 ports).

Yes, we could tell everyone in the forum to switch to another port number is required, but as you have already stated, it is too early and there is no need to do this yet. Yes, developers could write a script that changes the listening port to 5190, or any other port for that matter. Right now, I am working on a Script for Win 98 that will change the port number for you. We'll see if I can get it to work right, and if I do, I'll post it for you. ALter, Kirby!
