lack of ipv4 addresses in the east? someone tell that to the millions of mail relays that they have for spam

feh IPv6 is still too useless in my book for anything other then a "toy", or something to play with when you have no real work/things to do. then again, i have been in this conversation close to a million times, and every single time it ends with someone saying "just you wait, someday....IPv6 is gon...

easier to do what i do. kline xdcc bots, and anything that remotly looks like it, on sight

i suppose a point was made. the msg could be a touch more specific that the channel was juped. i mean, warez kiddies have no idea what most irc messages mean, since they are not all that clear!

I will not debate that a keyboard shortcut is faster at switching...

I am mixed on this. Do I believe abusive opers cause some packets? of course. that is not really a dispute. when an abusive oper messes with the kiddies, the kiddies respond the only way they know how, with packets. Do i think MOST attacks are due to abusive opers? hell no :) packet kiddies have, wi...

neat.

the question is, when will the changes be implimented. as it stands, it takes half a year to get anything done.
