when i took over datastream there were users who would use those script programs
and just be online for a long time.  then they'd create other accounts and run
those ones for a long time.  It would use up lines and cpu resources.

regarding cheating, I had a user that loved lord.  he asked how to cheat in the
igms and i told him.  it took away all the fun for him when he could be a god.
he stopped playing shortly after that.
