Well, I am a server owner, I run a renegade server with rg & brenbot. But I get lots of feedback from the players that they don't trust rg and think it is a spyware. Yes, you cannot explain because nobody knows what your program is doing. Maybe it is a keylogger that steal password and send it back to the rg server. Maybe it is a cdkey stealing program. Maybe it scan for cookies and steal passwords. Nobody knows what rg is doing except the programmer of it. The worst part is, DJM & Crimson here always use bad language. How can we trust it!?

So you're saying that just because something is not opn source, there may be a problem with it? Wow, I guess people had better stop using Microsoft products, Blizzard products, EA products, Corel producst... ect. MOST things you come across in the coomputer world ar closed source. And I suggest you re-evaluate your ideals. Heck I don't swear, yet I can trust someone who does. If it were as you are stating, it must be very hard to find someone you trust.
