- Maybe, but Nickserv does more than 'reserve' nicks.
- The best feature I find is doing "whois <nick>" on NickServ and getting
- an email address that works more often than user@host from irc.
- Why not ask someone for their email address ? Not everyone is on IRC
- 24 hours a day and you never know when you might want to email someone.
- NoteServ provides its own set of useful features with a certain amount
- of security.
