Yes thats right. I figured it wasn't quite confusing enough that BlazeRotate, BlazeRegulator, BlazeRenbot, are all called "BR" so I decided to make another "BR" application! 
BlazeReflector is a Renegade FDS app that broadcasts the FDS logfile over a TCPIP port. This allows remote programs to have access to the FDS logfile. I actually created this program because a form of it will be used with the upcoming release of TSR (TeamSpeak Regulator). I realized that not ever server admin runs the teamspeak server on the same box as the FDS, so TSR needs some way to see the renegade logfile. TSR will actually employ zip compression for the logfile link to save bandwidth..but I digress...on with a demonstration of BlazeReflector:
C:\> telnet fdshost.com 12345
BlazeReflector 1.0 - Authorized Users Only, All Activity Logged.

FDS log reflection is now ON. Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes
FDS: [02:28] Host: (BlaZzZzzer@IRC): test
FDS: [02:28] imaclever: usually sbh steal vehicles not shoot them when theyre in the base
FDS: [02:28] Player testguy left the game.

5 Invalid commands. Alerting the Sentinels!
Terminating your connection.
Connection to host lost.
As you can see, BlazeReflector reflects(broadcasts) the log to anyone who is authenticated and turns logging on. It supports multiple connections so you can have 5 apps or persons connected to it all seeing the logfile. Depending on what people want, I can turn this into almost anything. The first version of it I made was more like a chat server, the people logged in could talk to each other like IRC. I don't see any real need for that though, so I am releasing it as simple as possible. FDS logfile broadcast over a TCP/IP port.
I just made it this weekend, so I have to optimize the code, add logging, and write a readme before I release it.
