Yeah, I noticed that script loading is disabled. It's not terribly important to me right now, but I'm sure there will be a script I might want to load in the future.

The only bad I can see coming from this is someone trying to script something themselves, and end up doing a bad job, and CPU usage increases. However, in this type of community, it should be fairly simple to locate the offending user, and tell them about their CPU usage, right?

Maybe a mod to the scripting interface to prevent such occurrences?

There's some sort of system error preventing scripting from being enabled for now ... it should be cleared up soon.

We'll get right on that ...

just as soon as you provide a link for it and explain what sort of security breach is most likely to occur ;)
