im not sensitive, i just want to have a somewhat mature debate with you. your good at it, and i need practice.

"With the configurable channel bots that you get on *net
channels, he could autokill unpleasant chatters"

one: dalnet doesnt offer bots, (services dont count) undernet does though, but you mean BAN, dont you? autokill is a server ban, an a-killed hostmask will be automatically booted when it attempts to connect to the server.

IRCops are server authority figures that may close a channel/a-kill others, handle server glitches, etc.

1. Multiple servers, so faster/closer connections for people world-wide

you have a point about bandwidth, and about an attack on poemranker, but bandwidth shouldnt be a big problem since there are not that many rankerfolk, we arent looking at huge ircd loads here.

An attack on poemranker is unlikely, its not a site that provokes script kiddies to lauch ddos or dos against the server, plus it would not be a large network, so it isnt likely that they will attain much publicity from attacking us, and bragging counts for a large percentage of a script kiddies life.

ircds are set up to provide chatroom service to others, not to actually set up the channel, and services code is readily available via opensource.

folks could make their own private rooms and such.

Where can I go to chat realtime?
try #poemranker on DalNET; -=Dark_Angel=- was kind enough to set that up.

well, i think bad advertising is a major factor in your channels failure, this is a copy-paste from the help section.

you dont seem to understand the slight differences between ircds and IRC CHANNELS, etc, linux daemons dont endow you with ircd knowledge apparently.

linux? look, i am not a microsoft windows underling, so suddenly mentioning linux compels me to give an old reply:

BSDi bitch, linux is an infant. BLEH.

-no insult intended, just quoting an old saying of mine.
