I meant for storing the data in memory. There's no reason as far as I can see to use a different saving format than what blockland uses, as blockland won't be able to read it. Either that or I'm missing the point of the (what looks like) ban manager. And no I'm not turning into port; I wasn't saying "This way is superior" (although I admit it was poorly worded) I was saying "There's more than one way of doing it; you don't absolutely need to learn sql."
You're making assumptions on what I'm doing and trying to make suggestions by using said assumptions, which is never a good idea.
I said I was using SQL, and I had a reason for why I was using it.
It would have been a good idea to ask what data was actually being stored in the database, then trying to make a suggestion.
The database is going to hold A LOT more than just ban records fyi
