I think the number of people each day who try to run bots is around a 
dozen, even though they are told several times while making their 
account that we don't allow it and it won't work.  Staff may be able to 
elaborate here.

When I first came to grex and discovered that people got logged out 
after inactivity it took me about 40 *seconds* to write something that 
kept me logged in 24x7.

Given these and the number of students in the area I'm afraid allowing 
outbound access will be crippling.
