I don't support people doing things illegally, and I don't support hexing programs. However I also don't support such crude devices to try and stop people from doing such things. As I said, in some countries res editing is very much legal, and to prevent those people from exercising their legal rights, imho is just wrong. As was already shown, the people who want to edit mIRC to change the version replies are going to figure it out, they already have. The only people who are going to be hurt are the people who are doing this legitimately. If Khaled would have added translation support to 6.1 you wouldn't be hearing this from me, however, that was yet another feature suggestion that was neglected.
