- Wxc2jjJmST9XWWL 5y agoI am not denying they can be useful, I am questioning how this should be achieved. You are connected, you receive the messages, you aren't, you don't. You don't want to miss anything, how about making sure you stay connected? Is this really something that has to be built into the chat protocol, massively increasing its complexity and just giving headaches, security issues, debug problems, wasting developers' time? I don't consider IRC a replacement for online boards / stackexchange. Even stopped logging completely, don't use a bouncer. If I am online, I'm there. Actually think it's an improvement.
- welterde 5y agoThat's being worked on and there are already irc daemons that support it (but it's all a bit bolted on until the standard for that is ratified). However it is also a feature that has to be enabled by the server operator and here you may run into different opinions if this should be a thing or not.
