Forums Feature Suggestions irc servers

There are comming new irc servers in short time periods and updates whole time.
Why mediatraffic.fi.quakenet.org has not been added on QuakeNet servers?
I've always to add it there all myself...
And I've heard about IrcNet servers, that is not been added on IrcNet server from my friends...

well it can't be possible to add all irc networks i guess. I never thought i would find a dutch irc server.
If they would try to add all networks please mail me and I can give you a list of much more servers that are unknown.

(guess nobody is interested anyway :-) )

There are hundreds of networks, with thousands of IRC servers - the list would be too big to be useful.

A visit today at irc.netsplit.de shows that there's over 539 networks, 4445 servers, and 1001289 lusers in 580267 channels...
Your servers.ini file is only 31kb huge, containing 406 servers...
It would be interesting for someone to hold a servers.ini with all those infos, but somehow impossible.

There is a limit on the number of servers the .ini can hold (i'm not sure of it, you could try searching) - most networks run a round-robin dns containing all/many of the ips of client servers in one host (irc.quakenet.org for example), this allows mIRC to list the network in one host and the network can keep its records up to date without relying on mIRC to stay updated.

Obviously if you frequent certain networks you would want to create a more precise server list, you could do this yourself or maybe ask those networks to create a servers.ini tailored to their network.
