Yeah, I was aware that the IBL and IAL aren't automatically filled. I've been automatically filling those On Op for a decade or longer. (My script was actually called /ialfill).

I'm not sure if it's in the scope of Khaled's plans to hammer the server for these items, as a good custodian of bandwidth and lack of necessity for most users. But I wouldn't object to a quality, throttled, slurping of this information in the background. My script sends each request only 10 seconds after the most recent "End of Who" or "End of Names List" or "End of Banlist" or "On Op (me)" or "On me:Join" by reusing the same $cid based timer name, so requests never pile up.


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