DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing

Posted by timothy on from the official-word dept.

PFAK writes "DALnet IRC Network, formerly the world's largest IRC Network has announced that the IRC network has implemented a new "policy" that will phrohibit "Using a channel for the primary purpose of facilitating the transfer of files", as of March 1st, 2003. This will be another staggering blow for the formerly largest IRC network in the world, this comes after one of the many suprises on DALnet, such as the recent DDoS attacks against the network."

    Perhaps the poster is signifying that 'policy' is a rather incorrect word for the new rules; 'act of idiocy' may be a more appropriate phrase.
