Ah, the infamous botnets. The programs do have a very clearly defined and useful purpose though, these botnets are an unrelated side issue.

Thanks.
I didn't mean to imply anything, just wanted to make sure that we're on equal terms about what "bots" are, which initially looked like it would be everything including away-scripts to you. As I said before, I doubt that there's more than one bouncer in the channel, the others frequently talk or at least quit and reconnect from time to time, so they're all clients. Not that it makes any difference or is of any importance. The IRC channel is for talk, and talking there is. If the announced dev chat would be about Illwinter only, Shrapnel Games should hold it there.
