This is currently a good idea, however, I may in the near future impliment a php/MySql driven database for IM account that would be off of the moacad website (e.g. www.moacad.com/im/) if anyone would like to either do that for me :) or help me out your welcome because most coding i'll be doing will probably be on my blog.

I think this page is just fine, but it might become slower with more people listed. So the database is a good idea. But is MySQL really necessary? I say have a file for each user and then a name->file lookup table, so that when someone's name is entered, the corresponding file is loaded. - Mpnolan 10:27, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)
Well, the reason i made it my sql is that it will be easier to update, and it will allow for better password protection. (as well as make it easier for me to do stuff like searching for all the people with aim accounts or something) basicly that way i only have to do a servery query instead of having to phase an entire text file. andy 14:58, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)
Also, I'm not sure if Squishypickle's post was supposed to be in response to yours or not. If so, it should be prefixed with ':'. Likewise, if you want second-level indentation, use '::' Keeping this up is vital to being able to understand who's talking to who -- Mpnolan 10:27, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)

Perhaps emails should be included?--Squishypickle 00:17, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)

What all do you think should be included in a student database?

Perhaps a signiture? --Squishypickle 11:41, 24 Dec 2004 (EST)

Wow. I'd just like to register my astonishment at that awful database. I go to fix something, and not only does it make me type everything again, it doesn't update the old entry, it creates a new one. Again, wow. (Note: I don't feel like coding it either, so I can understand why it is that bad, but shit.)
