the term "mirc bot" means its a bot someone has written using mIRC scripting language to run from mIRC as opposed to an eggie written in TCL to run from a *nix shell. they have nothing to do with mIRC itself or Khaled, any more than any script/addon written by someone does. My initial response was why pay for something you can easily make/run yourself. but i guess someone who thinks they simply MUST have a bot available 24/7 and doesnt have the means to do that might be willing to pay, just as some ppl pay for a shell to run their eggies from.
