John, chill out man. It's a log, who cares.

I take it you don't run a station or its a huge one on a pay server. Logs are very very important if you actually are running your own servers. There are a lot of 'jerks' to put it nicely out there that 'mess' with radio stations as well as web servers and e-mail. Logs are what are used to locate these abusers so they can be banned. If I lost my apache logs or my dovecot logs I would be lost. Yes I get upset when things screw up logs because ... its a log which is very important (not who cares)
Its ok now though, the player is now shooting itself in the foot. I did find a provider that gives me 1000 slots so now all I did was put a intro file in SHOUTcast. Now when people sign in they get a message telling them to connect to my remote server. This message repeats every 10 minutes for those using the SHOUTcast player because of the broken player so I put that in the file too stating that if they want to listen to my station without interruption then need to connect to my remote server because its uninterrupted by the intro file.
Now that I have 1000 slots and I don't have to deal with the hackers/spammers and all their tricks like signing on 10 times to fill my slots or just connecting and disconnect flooding so I guess my logs aren't as important now.
Having the player being totally fubar actually helps me now ... no one listens to my site using the SHOUTcast player now for more than about 20-30 minutes 2-3 connections ... then they get annoyed hearing the intro file being repeated and usually move to a non web based player or to my new server.
