34 <PRE>dont mean to sound rude, but this isnt a 'moral' discussion, as it were, rather than saying 'I dont think this needs done', i think it would be best to help him.. its not a discussion on if its right or wrong, its a 'How to do it' discussion.. If you cant contribute to this.. please ignore this 'thread' :p

73 </I>>><i> would replace the notice() from send.c with it's own, leaving the code
74 </I>>><i> in send.c
75 </I>>><i> alone and not causing troubles down the road. Suggestions were that I
76 </I>>><i> make a
77 </I>>><i> module that kept the info for each nick's setting and then if I could
78 </I>>><i> override
79 </I>>><i> the notice() and notice_lang() and notice_help() in send.c that would
80 </I>>><i> keep all the
81 </I>>><i> other code clean and not cause other troubles. I want to know what the
83 </I>>><i> way to do this would be, I know it's against RFC but I want to move to
85 </I>>><i> services than the
1.4.3pre4 that we are using now and add modules so
86 </I>>><i> that I
87 </I>>><i> can do things down the line. They are used to having PRIVMSG and I
88 </I>>><i> can't just
89 </I>>><i> change it without running people off, so if I can make PRIVMSG an option
90 </I>>><i> then I can't be blamed if they are lazy. Opinions on how to go about
91 </I>>><i> this? I
92 </I>>><i> know this topic has been asked before and I know your not going to
93 </I>>><i> make it
94 </I>>><i> part of your code, I just wanted to know from the people who know the
96 </I>>><i> really well what the best route to take would be to do the least
97 </I>>><i> amount of
98 </I>>><i> damage. (And if someone has done this.. please let me know what you did,
99 </I>>><i> examples would rock)
