-
- No where do I see titus claiming that NoteServ or MsgServ are bots. However
- MsgServ was a Automated Client, which didnt connect as a service class. It
- was however a service. NickServ in the past did not connect as a service
- class neither, but was still a service. Regardless, they are automated
- clients with extra information passed to them, granted.

-
- No, actually, the main difference is that NoteServ actually provides a
- service to a large amount of users. The "idiot bots", are mostly
- self serving vantiy pieces of shit, used to boost the egos of their
- weenie owners and compensate for their small penis size.
-
- >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.
-
- Hmmm, do you mean "if bots can be killed if they are run on servers
- where the administrators do not approve?". I guess finding out
- whether a service is approved by the admin is difficult unless they
- are given "service" class connection (refer to service.de). Once again
- `policing' unauthorised `bots' is not easy either.
-
- >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.
-
- heh.. you arent trying to turn this thread from Vanity Bots to Vanity Servers
- now are you? :)
