Subject: Whatpulse for Bnet!

I'm not sure whether this belongs here or the flood, correct me if i'm wrong for posting it here.

We have everything here for the fans...forums, chapters, frappr map...pretty much everything. Everything but whatpulse!

Whatpulse is a program that records every key you type and every time you click your mouse, stores it on your computer, and can be sent to their website and is registered. There's no gimmick, no payment necessary, no credit cards or age requirements. Just sign up with your email address. That's it.

Here's the website if you'd like to check it out for yourself. although i've been using it for over a year and its legit.

And here's the link to the bnet group i just made ...i've put in a significant amount of clicks already, so kudos to the team, but if we got a ton of members, like everyone who goes on bnet, then we'd completely rule!

btw, i'm not sure if the picture there works...if anyone see's it and it doesn't, let me know.

Um... Huh? I thought we did everything we could to avoid malware programmes like that.

Until you decide to buy something and enter your credit card number.

I don't trust that being sent to a bunch of strangers over an unsecure connection.

Well, like i said, you can check it out for yourself and judge it however you like. Not like i'm forcing anything onto anyone.

Maybe it's me, but I had always considered keyloggers to be (to paraphrase Martha) "not a good thing".

I don't understand the benefit or up-side of something like this.


What's wrong with it? Sure, there's really no benefit to it, but for me, i like to know how much i've done on the computer in realtime statistics. Keys typed and mouse buttons clicked shows me that either i've worked diligently or that i need to get the hell out of my room and do something other than stare at a computer screen for hours at a time.

Which, now that i'm looking at it, tells me i should be going...

Ok, if Sir Fragula's and Recon Number 54's subtle hints weren't enough to explain the downside here's it spelled out... You want me to download a keylogger and knowingly install it onto a PC that i regularly buy hundreds of pounds worth of equipment on using my credit card? ARE YOU -blam!- INSANE?!

Keyloggers are very dangerous. I would never do that.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Yeah. That means it recoreds your passwords, credit card numbers, private emails, everything. And then it gets sent to a site, which you have no idea about. I wouldn't trust it at all.

I wouldn't use that . You have no clue at all who could be getting everything u typed. They could know everything u have put on the computer . If you have AIM or another instant messerger it would capture everything you type to your friends.

Think about it like this . Do you want a complete stranger reading everything you do.

*sigh*...

ok, thanks for judging it before you even looked at it. I never said "go and install this thing on your comp, it'll be alright," i said "here's the website so you can look at it, check it out, see for yourself if you think its legit or not, and decide for yourself." So stop going off that its probably bad. Probably means nothing. Go look for yourself and tell me.

I know i have used it for quite some time and i haven't had anything stolen (credit card numbers, phone numbers, anything). That doesn't mean i've never typed them in. The program doesn't work that way. It records when you push a key, not which key you pushed. If it did that, then they would explode cause there are so many friggin members that their memory would have made the site crash a long time ago.

This is how problems arise...just go see for yourself before you go nuts about it. If you don't care, that's fine too, don't care. But don't go around saying you know exactly how it works if you have no idea what it is or if you only have the slightest idea of how it works. It will only make you look like an idiot.

My apologies if you felt as if you or this product were being attacked.

My questions were sincere. I am unable to think of a personal reason that I would want to have/know how many keystrokes or mouse-clicks I make a day. Especially a third-part program that records that information for me.

You stated that you like the information to satisfy personal curiosity. Fair enough.


no worries, i know you were just looking at it for its usefulness. Other people weren't, though, which is why i was, well, upset. Your point i understood perfectly, and i can easily agree with it. Others, however...

Anyways, i made the group if anyone wants to join. Its your choice. If you don't, thats fine, but don't go flamming that something bad will happen unless you at least look into it yourself.

My apologies. I spoke before I looked into it in detail. I still won't use it, because I would prefer not to have any third-party software on my computer, but not for the apparently false reasons I gave above.
