!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Insecure (you get everyone's IP addresses, if you find a vulnerability you may be able to execute code on user's computers instead of just a server)

Prone to significant lag (one person's bad internet can affect everyone).

I'm sure there's quite a bit more reasons that I can't think of now though

While this is true, the chances of it happening is pretty rare. Just because you have my IP doesn't mean much. Sure you can scan for stuff like open ports and you can easily ddos in a lot of cases, but running a program on another players computer takes a lot more work.

Search news articles for "upnp".

I don't think the plethora of tweens and overworked parents are staying on top of issues like these.
