  34 <PRE>heh, i think we are all still recovering from christmas, i've not seen
  35 many posts here over that season.
  36
  37 I personally (and i think andy would have the same responce, i've gotten
  38 to know him over the past few years), would shoot down this idea, it has
  39 quite a large potential to be abused, if you write a patch, ensure only
  40 specific IPs can issue the command, otherwise you will have users just
  41 making scripts which periodicly register nicks, and you'll only become
  42 suspicious when your nick.db is 3gigs big :p
  43
  44 My approach would be a seperate module, which deals with the command,
  45 whether its an 'extention' to nickserv with a new command, or a
  46 completly new service which manages it (The second is the method we used
  47 for our web interface), that way, you could also publish your work, and
  48 give the others the benifit of your experiance (but ofc, thats up to you).
  49
  50 As for a feature request 'process', just post ideas to the list, they
  51 will be read over, if not responded too.
