Multi-Boxing on a Mac in 2014

[Khatovar]

Not sure where that animosity comes from, but it is not tolerated in this community. JohnGabriel wasn't bashing you, certainly not enough for you to respond to the post twice, a week apart. Geespot is a fellow new user who simply replied to the wrong thread. If you have an issue with a post, either ignore it or report it for us moderators to deal with if appropriate.

That said, ISBoxer is the most highly {if not the only} supported program left. Almost nothing listed in the multiboxing programs on this site - PC OR Mac- is still actively developed or supported in any way outside of assistance from other users. In many cases, these programs haven't been touched by their developers in several years.

We have nothing at all to do with that. We {for the most part} are gamers, not developers. Pretty much nothing has really gotten very far off the ground for Mac boxing in all the years I've been here. Ditto for Linux users. We can't make people want to create and maintain programs for those platforms, nor can we blame them. Multiboxing is a niche practice and people who use something other than PCs are even fewer. Developers with the time, skill and patience to not only learn how to multibox, but to create and maintain a new program for it as a labor of love {'cuz gods know they aren't going to get a payday for it,} are rarer than unicorns.

We can't recommend something that doesn't exist. That doesn't make us fanboys/fangirls or "PC gamers {that} just refuse to let up."

THANK YOU! That second paragraph was the kind of response I was looking for originally.
JohnGabriel certainly wasn't being helpful in any way.
I appeciate the response even though I had responded in the wrong way to get it.
I apologize for my rudeness. I won't bother anybody else on this matter or any other.

I don't know a whole lot about the Mac broadcasting applications from the recent past. But ... have you considered paying someone to make a basic tool for you?

This might sound ridiculous at first, but there are plenty of those sites where you can post a small project and where free lance developers are looking for a job. Obviously you don't want an isboxer clone for a few bucks, but there are quite a lot of highly skilled kids/uni students taking on projects all the time for anything ranging from 50 to a few 100 $. Windows has Autohotkey, and I can imagine there are similar tools for Mac. There is a very basic AHK script that used to allow broadcasting, and that could be easily extended without any programming knowledge.

It might be worth a shot to google a bit and see if you can find something along those lines, and it might end up costing you way less than having to migrate to keep boxing. Hec, maybe other Mac users are interested to chip in.

Just an idea.
