I would like to se it as an ON/OFF option.. I run my switch bar on the left so i can fit a few more "readable" tabs. As for needing that many open, well arguably, IRCops/Admins, sometimes NEED to monitor a bunch of channels. I also log onto multiple networks, a few are very small and not active all the time so i just idle, say hello when I see someone active, combine that with the large network random queries/spams - stuff gets a little clutered at times. Being that on my screen I can fit 28 tabs they do run out quickly. Also one would have to take into consideration Channel founders on networks that dont support channel/nick registration, bots run on the same client (silly but done), custom @windows for misc info...... there are many legit reasons also. I can see easily the not so legit reasons but what can you do. frown
If it were made I for one would make good use of it! laugh

my 2 cents
