acidvegas is a pretty shady guy himself, running an IRC spam network pretty much in broad daylight. I don't know what to make of this connection, except he probably has a reason for posting this that's slightly more nefarious than sharing some interesting knowledge.
Why is anybody still doing IRC spam in 2026? Is there still any profit in doing that? One would think that all the remaining IRC users are highly technical and unlikely to fall for it anyway.
Oh I've been there. If he doesn't like you he spams you with "you just joined a channel" protocol messages until your client crashes from being in too many channels - most clients don't survive that. I can't fault the ingenuity.
