    Yea I noticed it was only storeing new values in the first two after a while for me... oh well, there goes my hopes. I'll have to start researching alternative data storage... :p

     I use a MySQL database that stores name/value pairs keyed by friend id.  I also wrote a simple service that accepts an id and key and returns a value.  It also accepts a collection of keys and returns a collection of values.  It seems to work okay.  My biggest peeve is that I have to pay for hosting since makeRequest won't allow connections to addresses that don't have PTR records (can't do a reverse dns lookup) so I can't self-host (unless I pay 120 bucks a month for a business account with my ISP).

     Okay, update on this.  I guess my little exercise of creating offsite storage was really just that, an exercise.  It seems the REST api is the way to go with this.  I think you may have mentioned it Zoasterboy, or perhaps someone in a thread you were in did, not sure.  But, yeah, REST is the way to go for storing and retrieving data for your application.
