falador there are several groups of people.. now that are editing the original holley files released by King and 17Ng and also editing and creating new mir clients, i assume they are both in jail? lol but ya im still not paying :P
saw a neat looking mir3 client in a photo, that has a built in MSN feature available hehe, and had integrated smilies/emotes. goodstuff...
but ya.. its a good idea to look on the large umm.. chinese versions of lomcn lol, there are alot of them.. people like us.. but asian :P hunting down files, posting, helping each other.. etc. thats how i got most of the 5.02 files except the db, and thats how the keys for the files were found. so if people keep looking, maybe we get lucky and get a hit
hope you dont mind me posting these links here, a mod can remove them if he/she likes.. im just trying to lead people into the right directions... and hopefully get new files working
as i dont always have time to search these sites hehe.
