[Asterisk-Users] IRC

[Michael Sandee]

Sorry to break your bubble...
but: No it isn't.

These bots come from owned hosts, and get the channel name from the 
server info which happily lists all non-secret channels.
The operators actively battle the bots by k-lining them. (Or well, they 
are supposed to do this slave job for us atleast, it's the only thing 
they have to do apart from spying on us).

These bots do NOT cache the channel names. They get them after 
connecting to the server. (Yes I know... we reversed some of them recently)

P.S. Since you are a guy with ops YOU made the mistake by not having the 
channel +s in the first place.

And thanks for making it +s now, lets hope it gets resolved now for the 
common good.

Regards,

Mike
