I think people are to stuff in their ways, fundamentalists of a sort. I think for MIRC to flourish eventually new features will need to be added. They don't have to be used but having them as "Official plugins" would be useful. So like when you install MIRC it has those on/off boxes so you don't have to install these plugins with it. Myabe something along the lines of.
1) Foreign language packs
2) Smilie packs
3) Xdcc browser (although with the official line on file sharing this is unlikely)
4) Pictures that go with registered accounts, like what cheeta chat added to Yahoo messenger (my sister used it, that actually is the truth but sounds so lame it hurts)
5) That easy script designer that is in the process of being made.
6) Easy video and voice chat
) Out of the box ideas... for instance I heard that Second Life uses some kind of mozilla implementation in it's engine.
But the key idea is *** You aren't forced to install anything you don't want to so that the purists don't complain
Any ideas or comments?
