Conquer Club - auto refresh
Auto refreshes the game every 2 seconds, pops up a message when a new round starts if the window isn't focused

is this making the site so slow?
please disable the script because i can not play speed games.

It was created 19 hours ago - and looks to have been installed only Twice...

Of course it's possible that it was hosted elsewhere before hand.

This doesnt belong in C&A, moved to GD. To the point of your topic, are you the one using the script? If so, you can disable it. If not, then it should not be affecting you.

i am not using the script,
but i am getting allot om time outs from the server.
i thought it had something to do whit it.

2 seconds is just to much, and makes it a stupid script.
:)

thanx for the quick reply btw

Yeah, 2 seconds isn't even enough time to connect to the server... the site often having as much lag as it does.

I suspect most of the freestyle wiz players use something like this (like hacking one of the notifiers and having it check with a really really short interval), which is by far more of an unfair advantage than using CM IMHO.

Wooooo my script is famous!

Just for clearfication,
1. you can't ban it because it is not hosted on conquerclub
2. 7 installs (including everyone who just installed to check it out after seeing this post) will not make ANY website ping out.
3. I refresh faster than 2 seconds manually, and so does everyone that plays with me
4. it's hardly hacking since the script uses a function dedicated to GM scripts that conquerclub put in

Also,
Yeah, 2 seconds isn't even enough time to connect to the server... the site often having as much lag as it does.

This is wrong, the timer initiates only two seconds AFTER the response is recived.

*clarification
*received :roll:

and, by relating #4, it seems it could effectively be banned... :mrgreen:
