In my opinion, Tjerk should put a news about that on the main page for informing the users. Maybe it'll help a bit.
And Guyvah and other server admins can send global notices about that issue.
Maybe writing a warning to MOTD will help, too.
There are lots of complaints about that 'path' lie, like that one

This is faily old news. The websites whom had these "mirc 6.13" files have their dns killed. Most no longer resolve, because the site itself takes responsibilty and really doens't need a bad name because of some "skript kiddie". >:D

I think brinkster and some other one were the major ones, and as I said, they have been killed.
