First of all, congratz for the fabulous application! It works like a charm.

A nice feature i'll kinda miss..
Like in most chat/irc when a user joins the public channel, a default topic is shown in the window. Something like "Welcome to our chat." or "Hello world!".

command prop: "/defaulttopic Hello World!"

And also nice if it's possible: the admin can include one or more url in the topic.

Another option is the definition of a topic mask, like "Welcome to * #channel", where the asterisk will be replaced by the name of the channel the user is joining.

command prop: "/topicmask Welcome for joining the * #channel"

And a third possible option is a usergreeting message, ex. "Hello *, don't be evil towards new users." The asterisk will again be replaced by the user's nickname.

command prop: "/usergreeting Hello *, don't be rude to other users."

Hope you like the idea! Keep me posted!
Greetingz, Addow

    In the modifications (documentation), i just noticed there's is already a small modification for sending a welcome message to the user joining the channel. Thus the above features are a little more customized. I hope you understand when i mean. Thx for looking into it. Greetings, Addow -

    Yeah as you noticed there's already a modification for a welcome message, but it doesn't allow moderators to change the message or give different messages for different channels.
    I think a channel description could be useful.

    Thx for putting it on a 'potential' 2DO list. Hope the ideas keep coming ^^

    I would also like to se a welcome/motd (Message Of The Day) type event on user join but without the bot's name.

    I'm assigning this to myself as a 'still possible' option to give administrators as a command, however there is currently a modification listed in the documentation area that accomplishes this by editing some files.

    I have made it work correctly as a per-room message as well, and I will add that modification to the documentation soon.
