I think the option for inputting a/s/l info would be a good idea. Would help relieve ppl from having to insert "MaleGA" or "Fem24" within thier nick to help distinguish gender when wanting to display that kind of info, plus would allow a new angle for conversation initiation by location for some without the need to ask. I for one would use such an option if available. Could display within an info line such as a /whois line or create a new command to display or something. I do agree with a lot of you that ppl may tend to lie about such info, but so what?, is no different than them lying to you if you asked them anyway. And of course if you don't want that information displayed, you don't have to use it. Many ppl don't want that kinda info available which allows for more anonymousity if one so chooses. Could simply display "Not Available" or "N/A" or something in its place. But for those who want to use the option, it will be there. May also eventually allow ppl the ablility to assign separate nick colors by gender, age or age range, and location if one would choose. (Once again prompting another argument for enhancing mIRC's inability to assign more than 16 colors at one time, but that's a whole new thread all together!) Would be a welcomed feature to many and I think molding applications around the wants/needs of the user help make for a better program and "user experience". As far as implementation, I'm not nearly as well versed as a great many of you concerning code and protocol, and as far as someone actually doing it, that's another issue as well, but am sure it can be done. Any input or opinions are welcomed because that is essentially all this is at the moment. Will catch y'all later.
