  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>We're running IRC Services 4.5.45 and have been running it for quite a
  35 </I>&gt;<i>few years now. We are looking at doing an upgrade to the 5.0 version,
  36 </I>&gt;<i>one of the main reasons for the upgrade is to better prevent &quot;nick
  37 </I>&gt;<i>collectors&quot;
  38 </I>&gt;<i>
  39 </I>&gt;<i>However we are uncertain on one thing, once we set a limit on allowed
  40 </I>&gt;<i>registered nicknames, we are uncertain what will happen to those whom
  41 </I>&gt;<i>have say 100 nicks.
  42 </I>[...]
  43 &gt;<i>        4. it will simply retain 4.x setup and allow those with the
  44 </I>&gt;<i>        nicks to continue as they we're but with no ability to add to
  45 </I>&gt;<i>        there collection, simply keep identifying them.
  46 </I>
  47 Services takes this approach: no change will be made to the existing
  48 databases, but users with more nicknames than the limit will no longer
  49 be allowed to register or link new nicks until they ddrop some of the
  50 old ones.
  51
  52 Also, if you're considering upgrading, I'd like to recommend going
  53 directly to version 5.1 rather than 5.0; while there was admittedly a
  54 bit of a fiasco earlier with a few security bugs, the current version
  55 (5.1.10) should be stable, and I don't anticipate making any significant
  56 changes at this point.  Either way, be sure to read the upgrade notes in
  57 the Services manual (<A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/docs/upgrade.html">http://www.ircservices.za.net/docs/upgrade.html</A>)
  58 before upgrading, as there are several important changes to be aware of
  59 between each version.
