[edit] ConferenceRoom

Please stop marking ConferenceRoom's status as "derived from DreamForge". It never was derived from "DreamForge." Nbougalis 04:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

T'wasn't me, I just cleaned it up, see "Revision as of 09:48, 15 June 2006 - 82.20.212.244". Southen 08:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I know -- I was just making a general comment, not targetting it against you. Nbougalis 00:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

actually, early versions WERE derived from df, dalnet got quite pissy about it 82.20.212.244 20:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Seeing how I was on DALnet at the time, I can tell you that CR was *NEVER* derived from DreamForge. Where were you at the time Mr. "I comment from my IP"? Nbougalis 22:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Completion

This comparsion of features tables really need a good cleanup. Working with a guy from InspIRCd, I corrected the errors in information that exsisted for it. What we really need is for people to verify all the information or add information. Get some sort of completion party together. Stormscape 04:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

In starting the article, I hoped others would help complete the tables. This could be a valuable resource in that it is not bias to a particular IRCd as the comparisons offered by individual daemon's websites often are. Southen 06:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Multi-Threaded DNS

Uhm why is 'Multi-Threaded DNS' listed in the features section, and what on earth is the advantage of it? There isn't any... non-blocking async i/o is just as effective (which is used by the majority of the ircds since like 1990 or so). If you ask me, it can be removed from the list because it's not a feature, just something internal. 82.157.229.156 21:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

You may have a point there, and the only IRCd to promote it as a feature is InspIRCd. I will remove it in my next update, if there is no protest. Southen 06:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
