hello? of course a privte channel has its perogatives! sheesh!
public channels have *individual* perogatives, sheesh.
all that said, i do rather like the inclusion of the "<asdf> bans <zxcv>"
as sort of a, ummmm, "notice" in the public channnels.

I think that @#$%! partyadm just added the gong noise . . . He probably
managed to do it wrong, too . . .

My inclination would be to have both irc and party available, so users can
choose whichever program they prefer.

We need to write some code so that people in party can talk to
people in IRC and vice versa.
Oops, almost forgot: :)

Re: 78 That would be nearly impossible unless we took a lot
of features out of irc, or put a lot of new features into party, and
rewrote the ircd to read from a file, and the client to write from a
file. That would be a huge mess. ANyway, I don't know if one is still
necessary since the new party features have been added.

Um, what do tel/chat/write have to do with IRC and party?

re: #83 ... #82 was a question derived from #78 - even though i saw remmers'
smilie, it was an interesting situation he posed.
and i am in agreement with #s 68-69-70-71, btw.

Ryan, I am not sure about IRC as i have never used it ,but I have been told
it is a real pain to learn if you are not a computer whiz. I was gone for a
week and just returned to see that the :ignore filter has been added to party
so I can not see a real reason for IRC to be implemented.
Kerouac: I noticed that you talk a lot about this filtering people out being
a bad Idea but I also noticed that you spend a very very small amount of time
in party, so you would not need a filter program.

I think that may be a common trait among all the people opposed to a filter.

wouldn't tels/writes/ntalks carry inot irc (though disrupting the flow?)
on oeonline,another unixy system, when i went to a non-local IRC
messages from the system still hit me. (which was annoying, but functional..
except that k had to time out of irc to answert them)

Re IRC being hard to learn: As far as I've been able to tell, all you need
to know in IRC is the command to switch to a particular channel. Other than
that, you type things, and they show up on everybody's screen if they're in
that channel. You can learn more complicated tricks, such as registering your
nickname with a nickname database, but you don't need to know how to do that
to get started.
Re 88: Jenna -- try typing control-R or control-L: the program may be set up
so that one or the other of those re-draws your screen. Those keystrokes work
in lots of programs.

yeah, IRC can be as complex as you want... unfortunately, those nicks are
not registered anywhere in the world anynmore, seeing the vast number of
twits that now can access the world (and think they are new and
original), I rather doubt nick-registration will resume anytime in the
future.
OTOH, a local-only system would be intelligent to use the logids as the
one and only nick, since (frankly) any other route would simply lead to
greater chaos than is currently being suffered.
I still worry about hacker/twits playing with 'bots and such, but that
would be something the unix guru's would be able to manage..
