- These are not bots. These are services. A service needs to be registered
- with the server that it lives on, and it receives more information than
- your normal client. At this stage, only service.de has the service code in
- it , and it hasn't been released. (please someone, hassle them to release it)
-
- The different between noteserv and 80% of the idiot bots, is that the admin
- of the site knows of the "cyborg" and allows it to run.
-
- If bots could be killed because they're running on servers with the administration
- knowing about it, then the irc-world would be a happy place.
-
- Hang on, that would imply that the admins of servers are responsible people.
-
- That would imply that servers are only being run because they need to be.
-
- Ah well.

- These are my personal views and do not reflect those of Melbourne University.
- Anything I may say that may be deemed offensive and/or damaging should NOT
- be redirected to administration, as they have had nothing to do with it.
