- Well.... if you are "nisse" (pardon foreigners) to write a bot that is
- lame enuff to keep a lame channel you should prepare yourself to get
- such questions. That is called USERSUPPORT.
- If you go to IRC to communicate, why do you have a bot then ? I can't
- really se the logic here. But then again, I'm just stupid when it comes
- to such things.
-
- How much have YOU been on IRC vs your BOT been on IRC to keep YOUR channel ?
- This is a essential question every channel keeping bot writer should
- considder. Said in another word: DO you NEED it ?
-
- Afraid that someone may "steal" you precious channel ? get real :-)
- Neither channels nor nicknames are owned. This is IRC, not your home :-)
-
- There is something wrong when 200 out of 700 users are Bots... I did not
- make this estimate, someone on #T_Z did it last sunday (or was it saturday,
- when don't matter).
- So when we reach 1300 users (march next year if this growth continues),
- there will be 300 bots. Out of those 300 280 will be /on join <nick>
- <channel> /op

- \Ruben.
- (Say NO to unatended bots)
-
- PS: It's soon time for the Norwegian lamb slaugthering. (Hei Jello :-),
- we had a premeal the other day... it tasted wonderfull...
