What is IRC? Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is
one of the most popular and most interactive services on the Internet. Sure,
the Web is nice for finding info and E-mail beats snail mail hands down, but
when you've been wondering 'where the others are?', then IRC is what
you're looking for.
IRC is the net's equivalent of CB radio.
But unlike CB, Internet Relay Chat lets people all over the world
participate in real-time conversations. IRC is where the Net comes alive!
What is an IRC bot? An IRC bot is a program that sits in an IRC
channel around the clock, keeping it open 24 hours a day. It looks just like
a normal user on the channel, but is usually idle until it's called upon to
perform a particular function. A bot can contribute greatly to the stability
of a channel by protecting it from takeovers and abusers, providing a
central location for storage of the channel op list and giving ops to those
users when they join the channel. It can also perform many other useful
functions such as logging channel events, providing frequently requested
information, hosting trivia games, and so on. On #Satinroom we maintained
three bots Supra, and Vigilant, who have been AWOL for quite some time now, and MaddMax.
Each bot performs a different function.
