It does effect us. Its more bulk thats added to mIRC. The more bulk the slower mIRC runs and the more memory it takes. You can use the say that computers are getting faster but not everyone has a faster computer. Emotion support is unprofessional. Features like this have been requested for years but never get added. Its time to stop complaining about them not being added. IRC servers don't restrict there clients to mIRC. If you want that features code your own client or request them for another client that likes adding those kinds features. No ones holding a gun to your head telling you to use mIRC.
