Yes, Brian is right, it was ruled out in the early years of protocol 10
due to high uses of bandwidth. Altho, if you are really interested in
this, it would be pretty easy to modify the ircu to your own liking and
placing a final argument on the end of the burst line between servers.

Thats a point.. they could checksum the topic and force a comparison or
something.. I dunno i aint a coder and i aint that versant with the
processor/bandwidth required to do as Im suggesting...
But I do see your point, it could be a significant hit. I guess topics
arent high prority. :)

from what i recall hearing the main reason that's not in the code is the
bandwidth factor, think of how much it takes just for the net.burst of all
the nicks, and channels they're in and what notjust think how much more
it would take to put the topic for every channel in that too.
correct me
