I was talking with Cookie Monster and we both seemed to agree that a games auction site would be a decent thing to have on SR, for people getting rid of their unwanted games, maybe even get decent prices for them and stop getting ripped off by trading them in at game for £20, what do you think??

There are a few more alternatives if you give it a little thought... :)

It would be very hard to use C++ because it has a lot of programming involved, and it would be extremely hard, but i'm not sure how fast it would be.

Ahem. Please could you do me a tiny favour. Look at the address bar. See the name of the file, display_messages? See the file extension on it?

OK, now who has the unhealthy obsession.

Oh, and the only other alternatives are:

ASP: Exactly the same, yet slower. Also doesn't work on Linux servers.

Perl: Even slower, and I believe it also doesn't have a timer.

C++: You could write a proper program, but I think it would be hard and also achingly slow.

Then again, there is probably a way to do it in PHP which I haven't thought of, but that's for the webby to think about.
