Tom,<br><br>Nah, it wasn't in regards to the java-based IRC. The reason it doesn't work for you is more than likely because your work network doesn't allow outgoing traffic on port 6667. Try logging in from home, maybe. A few of us have tested and it works.

<br>Ummm... Crawling isn't an "attack" (that I know of) -- not honoring<br>robots.txt, however, might be an actionable offense (umm, you HAVE setup<br>an appropriate robots.txt file, haven't you?)<br><br>Msn, yahoo, google, and others will generally be grabbing/caching pages
