hmm.. i can never get a "mirc bot" kick the ass out of a eggdrop.. if that eggdrop didnt respond so fast, it couldent be lag? or many useless TCL's loaded in them? im faster then the bots on bans in one of my channels, but the bots are damn so fast with other things.. so it all depends on server/connection, TCL loaded, what box u running it on, how much that box have to work with.. and a eggdrop handles colors/bold/underline great, just make a TCL for it. and the best thing.. you can link eggdrops and they work together.. i cant imagin what a huge script mirc would need for the same type of "partyline" and functions
