  35 <PRE>     Yeah, I checked the other supported servers and noticed that they
  36 all support such nicks too... and to be honest I'm in full agreement with
  37 Stskeeps that that part of the RFC (among others) is out of date; I just
  38 wish there was something more up to date that everyone could agree on.
  39 (Is this where someone jumps in and says &quot;if you want to get something
  40 done, do it yourself&quot;?)

  55 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &lt;insert some smartass comment about RFC and it's validity today&gt;
  56 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  57 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Anyhow. A little investigation in how people respect that:
  58 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  59 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Unreal: allowed
  60 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> DALnet/Bahamut: allowed
  61 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> EFnet/Hybrid: allowed
  62 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> IRCnet: allowed
  63 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Austnet: allowed
  64 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Personally, I believe some parts of RFC are crap and literally outdated,
  66 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> like the scandinavian case mapping thing.
  67 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  68 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Also, to be a complete jackass, and use RFC2812, which is to be silenced
  69 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> away cos of it's IRCnet orgin:
  70 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  71 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> nickname = ( letter / special ) *8( letter / digit / special / &quot;-&quot; )
  72 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>

  78 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;Hi,
  79 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
  80 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;I'm using Unreal3.2-beta10. I noticed it allows for nicknames that do not
  81 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;start with a letter. eg. /nick [Mary]
  82 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
  83 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;Apparently this is against RFC1459. Is this a feature or bug?
