Nearly a year has passed since 6.03 was released. One can only wonder what Khaled has been up to ..... millions will soon see if he has been goofing off or working hard on mIRC. Has Khaled been working on mIRC or his suntan?
And you feel Khaled has no right to a life outside of mIRC because?
Are you his daddy? Does it matter? Nope. Does Khaled also have a life? Yep. Will there be a new version? If things have changed since the last time I heard, yep.
<sarcasm>
I'm sure Khaled will drop everything in his personal life to work on mIRC just to make you happy.
</sarcasm>
What's a duck-billed platypus?
A duck billed platypus is the only kind of platypus. A cross between a duck and a possum. They live most of their life under water and are one of the world's only egg-laying mammals.

How much can a koala bear?
Well I did say "one of the world's only egg-laying mammals", not thee only one.
And it's not a spiny anteater, it's an echidna. :tongue:
Would I have more rights to question what Khaled has been up to if I was his Daddy?
Yes he has a right to a life other than mIRC same as I have a right to ask what he has been up to :tongue:
If he has been working on another project then I would be keen to know. Is it any of my business? Nope none at all. But I am still interested and have a right to ask don't I?
So you mIRCodians stop sucking up to Khaled, he is big enough <moderator edit> to defend himself
No one is sucking up, merely taking exception to the tone of your post. Your implication wasnt one of interest as to what if any project he's been up to. If you want to know what interests him outside of mIRC, check out his website.
What did you expect, that you would demand to know if he has been "goofing off and working on his tan" and he would drop everything to give you a detailed account of his activities and the status of work on the next version?
There is no need for namecalling and insults directed at anyone, be it Khaled or any other user.
...and we have the right to say that its none of your business what Khaled does outside of mIRC. So you do have the right to ask/demand, but don't expect a straight answer if your post has a smartass tone to it.
Had he been working on another project he would probably let the moderators know this to relay to the rest of us, or else he would just keep it to himself.
As for Khaled coming to defend himself, sure he probably reads these post who knows maybe this one already, and he knows that the moderators can probably petty questions like yours. And as far as anyone sucking up goes, who's sucking up? There are many people that are members here who choose to donate their free time to helping others when in fact they could be doing something more productive outside of the net.
So unless you have another question don't bother replying to me cause i'm done with this thread.
I for one am sucking up... in hopes he'll grant me the pleasure of beta testing for him, some day.

Parabrat take a chill pill you are way too over stressed. Maybe you have just spent too much time on IRC LOL
Saying someone is 'big enough and ugly enough' to defend themselves is far from an insult and is more a term of endearment where I come from!
Saying someone is 'big enough and ugly enough' to defend themselves is far from an insult and is more a term of endearment where I come from!Can I assume you are Australian then? Because here the term "big and ugly enough" is infact used 'lightly' to describe someone as tough enough to go their own way, though we also have a habit of minding our own business.
-Where i come from, calling someone ugly is name calling. (ever so cute the way you figured you'd get it in anyway. im just so impressed. i'm sure you can figure out that if i chose to, it would be gone?)
-my online time is spent primarily answering questions and dealing with users, many of whom (like you) react with rudeness.
-i returned your "chill pill", i'm sure you'll find it in the morning
Parabrat, you should get outside more often..
Since one usually has to be indoors to use the 'Net it surprises me that anyone can justify making such an absurd remark.
Well thats because you people haven't discovered the greatness of 802.11g on a laptop outside!
I am well aware of what a wireless link on a LAN is like, I use one at work. I am speaking on behalf of the majority (including myself) who cannot either afford or be bothered having it at home.
hmm... I don't see a message from Khaled anywhere here. And... yeah. I do wonder if he's been working on mIRC?
Then maybe you should look again seeing as how there are several.
Okay... so I'm assuming that there will be another version of mIRC within a few months at the most.
As for the rest of this thread, I can't figure out why you would all rather flame and fight over whether the question was asked for the right or wrong reasons, rather than moving on to the part where you either can or can't answer it and do or don't. You're all too busy "discussing" the idea of a discussion to actually hold one?
What would Khaled do? Well... (and for those who can't distinguish, this is a joke) maybe we should all take a year off from posting and see how it goes? :cP
Anyway, so yes there will be a new mIRC, and NO, there is no real precedent for this gap since the last one, so there is not a very clear indication of when, or what this may mean for mIRC's new version.
Of course Khaled has his own life, as any living thing does. It is silly to think that he wouldn't, or that he has stopped maintaining mIRC based on the lack of a recent release. Some things take time...
be patient... and stop arguing, for Bob's sake!

It's amazing how some people change their tune when they find it convenient to do so.
I think he's dead
pardon me for saying this but Geez, you are so rude. No one's trying to snoop into Khaled's personal life. No one's trying to be his daddy LOL And no one is keeping tads on him. Some of us just like mirc so much we're interested in finding out where it's going, to see maybe what the future release is going to be like, that's all. We're not trying to push him, or rush him into making the future release. we're not trying to find out any additional info about the maker. I was going to ask if the upgrade was going to be a major upgrade or a minor upgrade but im afraid to now. Geez. i retract my question. He Created a product and a message board for the product .. what the hell is the point in having a message board if you aren't allowed to ask any questions about the product? Geez. you guys talk about how you hate rudeness, but between you and that moderator, you two are the rudest people in this thread. im sorry to be saying this, but it's true. and if this post gets my account deleted, then so be it, but let me say just one thing.....
IT'S NOT RUDE TO BE CURIOUS!
I agree that it's not rude to be curious, but people do sometimes get tired of answering the same questions over and over, despite the fact that there is a 'sticky' post addressing the question regarding future mIRC releases. There is also a search feature to these forums. Personally I just think it's pointless asking when the new version will be out anyway - releases are never pre-announced. Of course people are curious, and look forward to new releases, but the fact is, nobody knows till it's released.
I'm sorry you feel that way guy, I don't know if you read any other post besides mine, but someone was demanding to know whether or not Khaled was working on mIRC or his suntan. I simply responded back stating that Khaled has a life and is entitled to some free time. Looking at code majority of the time would drive me insane.
And as for you pointing out me being rude...hell yeah I can be because it blows my mind when many people join these boards in response to someone's post without reading the sticky posts or using the search feature.. Not to mention there is a mailing list that will send you an e-mail when the new version comes out should you choose to sign up for it. Its been too repetetive on these boards lately I've seen the same question being asked within minutes of each other. Although that is going to happen, people should take the time to read this entire website (Including Khaleds page) to find out more about mIRC...
The moderators I can understand their frustrations on these forums...having to point people to posts that can be easily found using the search feature, having to delete spam and unwanted threads, putting up with the bickering of others day in and day out... I don't blame them for being a little rude at times.
To answer your question about the majority/minority of the upgrade, just wait and see and be patient.
Its not rude to be curious, just don't demand to know what the hell Khaled is doing if he isn't coding mIRC...I'm not saying you did someone else did that already. I'm just making a point.
With all due respect, did you read the first post in this thread? Suggesting that Khaled is "goofing off" and "millions" are waiting to see if he's just "been working on his tan"
wasnt a simple curious "when will the next release be out, whats gonna be in it" and i wouldnt consider it "a question about the product". I'm sorry you think i'm rude, but since I consider Khaled to be a friend, i strongly resent the implications in that post, as well as seeing the same user refer to him as "ugly". I wouldnt tolerate any user calling any other user a name. Name calling simply isnt tolerated here. If indeed its a bit of colloquilism, its isnt one im familiar with. Interesting how the posters rudeness to me for following policy by editing out name calling is fine to you.
If you read thru these forums, you will see many ppl asking about the next version. They are referred to the sticky post or its explained yet again that release date/timeframes for new versions are NEVER announced in advance. New features arent revealed in advance, and only rarely will Khaled refer to something as "being fixed next version".
The objections raised in this thread arent because someone was curious about when the new version will be released or whats going to be in it (altho its a pointless question since its answered repeatedly and easily found). Sure anyone can ask, but they will get the same answer: New releases and additions arent announced in advance. That includes any advance notice as to whether a release will "major or minor".
Actually my bet is we are very close to seeing something quite fantastic and it won't be Khaled with a carribean suntan.
My original post was intimating this in a light hearted fun way and my only mistake was I misjudged the maturity of the moderators here. Sorry about that!
"big and ugly enough" is kind of colloquial but I can understand that people not familiar with it will take offence. It just means being a man instead of a boy basically. Once I saw Karen (I think on the old forum) tell someone who was moaning about something trivial to "take a hike", I just assumed she meant that the user should be on the computer alot less though I found it quite amusing because down here it means "piss off" lol.
Watchdog: actually, "take a hike" CAN have the same meaning here
Ryker: i am unclear as to whether you deem my lack of familiarity with your slang, or my following policy by editing out what appeared to be name calling, or my failing to "get" your odd concept of humour to be an indication of immaturity. Oh. wait. perhaps that another sample of your sense of humor that only LOOKS like an insult.
Khaled has been working on his sun tan and working on mIRC at the same time! I feel Khaled has no right to live his life outside of mIRC because he's the legend. He must devote his life to mIRC. I'm Khaled's daddy and it matters. If Khaled is living then he has a life. What was he eating under there?
Its a wonder you got your name...
It's a wonder if you're really the king of the tomatoes, and eat poison apples all day.
ok, enuf with the insults y'all
