Just to let you know i love your script!

Occasionally i have some issues where the script seems to b0rk with a few errors, but i haven't found the exact moment/cause yet.

I am trying to set up and old program who used comic chat to communicate between clients, but I don't even know if there are any comic chat servers running anymore, how do I set up this proxy?
