Re: POCO IRC Proxy plugin
The docs say it's a simple bouncer that lets you hide many bots and/or clients behind a single IRC connection. Benefits? If you're developing bots that crash a lot, you can hide them behind a stable proxy that doesn't annoy everyone with frequent reconnections. If you develop a lot of bots, you can put them all behind one IRC connection. This may keep you from being banned by servers that have low connection limits. If a channel lets you only have one bot, you can cheat. :) Other things, only limited by the intersection of the implemented features and your imagination! -- Rocco Caputo On Feb 22, 2014, at 15:49, Celso Barriga wrote: > Can somebody please tell me what this plugin actually do?
