Best to just stay away from River and TTC as this is where the majority of hackers like to hang out. One thing we must all understand, given the nature of the programming of TT, stopping the upstream injection of code from the clients computer to the TT servers, (which is how the hacks are being done), is nothing that TT can actually 'stop' at the current game levels design. I do however remember seeing a post someplace, that Disney had, at one time, put out an ad for a Python Expert job position. Shortly after it's posting, it was taken down. (have to assume that someone filled the position). Hopefully, they are indeed in the midst of redesigning the game code, as needed, to prevent the client code injection. At the very least, I hope they are able to put in place securety measures that sense the injection of unauthorized code and terminate any accounts that try to do this. I know many of the hackers you the python programming language to bypass being banned, but if the devs are on the ball, it won't matter, as the game connects a player by it's IP number, which can be traced.. in most instances, right to your front door. (though MAC Address filtering would be the BEST route for them to take as it's nearly impossible for someone to get around, as where most can simply reboot the internal ISP modem in their house and it gets a new IP Number....The MAC address however, is hardcoded to the device and never changes.) Since the logfiles technically ARE TT property, they can easily make the program retreive those from suspects, and those CONTAIN a persons MAC address. Block the MAC, you block that person from EVER going on TT again. Most these little script kiddies aren't going to hack their ISP's modem, risking losing their internet completely, simply to keep pursuing the code injection of the TT game. At any rate, I don't personally feel that the TT game is going to be shut down anytime soon. Just my opinion though. I have hope that the devs are working on more permanent solutions to the hacking issue.
