| The only data I log is related to previous session connections. Before you get angry, this is due to people␊ |
| who would use this service for nefarious purposes. If you care about your privacy online and know someone␊ |
| who brags about or claims that they will do something illegal - you should probably convince them, via any means,␊ |
| them not to do it.␊ |
| Session data becomes stale after 20 seconds and is␊ |
| automatically purged. I think it would be interesting to collate data and provide a report via trend like␊ |
| <a href="http://oktrends.okcupid.com/">okcupid does</a>. (As a computer scientist I love me some analytical␊ |

| <div class="panel-body">␊ |
| I've been a huge fan of the original codeigniter due to it's simplicity of not requiring use of the framework.<br>␊ |
| As far as I can see no PHP framework today fills that niche. There are a number of micro frameworks but they␊ |
| didn't feel like they were what I was looking for. I believe in keeping things as simple as possible.<br>␊ |
| If you feel CakePHP/Symphony/etc is a better framework you are free to fork this code and use those frameworks␊ |
| instead. Otherwise, this will be my reply to anyone who criticizes the code "patches welcome".␊ |
