!Nick filename is not rare i promise you. Thousands of people at all times use it for sharing files and other information. In the moments it took me to type out this message, hundreds of !nicks were sent on IRC. Many of which are probably illegal transfers, but thats not what this request is about.

Im sure youve seen the @find and !nick <file> scripts that are around. The !nick filename has developed into a standard.

Im developing an addon with the same idea. I would have liked to have stuck with the origional !nick thing because thats what everyone knows. Obviously ill have to use something else, but i just dont understand why this is enabled by default. It just causes conflicts and is good for absolutley nothing.
