Are you okay with missing messages, or do you only ever communicate with people over an always-on wired connection?

- herbst 10y agoIMO thats the magic of IRC. Channels i care about i bounce, channels i do not care i dont bounce in. If messages would wait for me that would mean so much overhead for the protocol. I like IRC because its simple. I've build a IRC out of boredom, and a bouncer because the one i used missed a feature i wanted. Please nobody take that simplicity away :/
- herbst 10y agoI just thought about the server implementation. This is simply not dueable. IRC servers are ment to run thousands of users, caching messages would be awful.
