I'm looking to script or have a feature added that will automatically expire (remove) certain events like JOIN PART QUIT MODE from channel buffers after 10 or 15 lines. The events would still be logged to file, but wouldn't clutter up the buffer of slow chat or hugely populated channels.

I would even like to see this enabled as the default behavior. One of the early things people ask is how to turn off join/part/quit messages from flooding their screens. Being able to only see the most recent of these events would be nice, to see when the user you're chatting with parts or quits or rejoins, but after 10 or 15 lines that information becomes fairly irrelevant to most-most-most people.

Thanks.


Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
