What is the benefit of having a bouncer?

Kloopy · 24 Jan 2004, 11:37

It makes you c00l...

... And its also helpful if you're in a large number of channels so you don't get Target Change Too Fast when trying to join them when you connect normally, since your bouncer stays in all your channels.

It also logs your PMs whilst you're not there, and with some bouncers you can set them up to log channels too. Also, it stops anyone taking your nickname when you're not there.

So overall, I'd say whoever came up with the idea initially, had a genious one.

What do they get out of it though? Sounds a bit dodgy to me :¬/

Anarchy always told me it is possible for the person in charge of the server to gain access to the bouncer (BNC) of somebody they are hosting, though i cant say if this is true because im not an irc knowledge geek :¬/

If somebody randomly gave you a car, you'd want to know why and of course you'd check to see if it was safe before driving it.
