  36 the IRCD is stupid, the only time it checks nick integrity is on the /nick
  37 command
  38
  39 you can use svsnick
  40
  41 I changed a whole channel full of people to have the same name using svsnick
  42
  43 SVSnick is what the services uses to &quot;guest&quot; people

  66 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Umm Remember the problems I quoted earlier.
  67 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  68 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> When there are more than two netsplits,  as in server B was connected to
  69 </I>&gt;<i>server A, server B splits, connects, splits and
  70 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> then when it connects, services die.
  71 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> This isn't the worst part.
  72 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  73 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> When I restart services, on joining as expected, people are told to change
  74 </I>&gt;<i>their nicks, otherwise they will be guested.
  75 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Guess what. Most nicks are changed to the same Guest nick. See below:
