i dont see much of it, there are some nets have been listed for years, and are still small, its just a name in a list, it wont attract users even if it is a catchy network name |
Furthermore, most people using mIRC don't even look at the server lists (most are using pre-made scripts) - even me, I've checked it once... spambots are the only kind of stuff that looks into the file more than once  |

Yeah, I don't know of anyone who really uses the server list of any client really. The first thing I do when I get a client is wipe the builtin server list so that I only have the 4-5 I care about rather than the 400-500 the author thinks I should care about.
I think that even for new users, when they get an IRC client, they might select one from the list, but it isn't going to be little XYZ network at the bottom, it'll be a big one. Notice how DALnet, EFNet, IRCNet, and Undernet are all right at the top of mIRC's servers.ini. Those are the only ones new users are ever going to select. |
