can we get maybe a hotkey that fires up SNGs on Stars? or an auto opener? I'd be willing to donate for it.

Is this legal on PokerStars? I think I've seen conflicting statements about this and would like to know one way or the other.

Legal.

I was intending to fix up my SNG opener this weekend, but it seems with the current client there is terrible lag (like 10 seconds) between hitting register and actually registering :-( so I an do nothing until this is fixed on their end.

What is certainly not allowed on pokerstars is observed table "datamining" - for which a table opener is a useful thing.

it is not really an issue for SNGs/MTTs since it is more of an auto-register than an auto-opener - Stars client will open tournies you have paid for by itself.

But it is an issue for a cash game opener. I commented in another thread about my lack of desire to have AHK associated with illegal practices, and you have to believe within days of release of an AHK that could open and maintain all cash tables, the dataminers would be all over it, which is a shame, since I am sure there are players who would like an auto table-opener but can't write it themselves.
