Privacy on IRC?? hehe.... I have seen these before, one of those shake your head and move on things.. I personally wouldnt care to chat in a channel broadcasting to the web.. NOT full log of the channel that is.. not with the way words get twisted or as sarcasm sets in ya mouth off or like mentioned already *get drunk* and do stupid things. However Help channels and other Informative channels, could benefit by it in some ways.
Many channels already use quoters, stats, and things of the sort that link to websites.. which i have no problem with. That is however usually common knowlege through topic or join message. I guess the question would be should you "have the right" to know it is being done.? Really anyone with a little web space and logging on can do a lot the same thing. So.. heh..
It has both Pros and Cons yes.. but i think i would have to side with the "I dont like its"
