Hey, cool, I can write a spam-bot to spam all the channels.  I'll call it...
naah, that would be telling.

Apart from Splange, everyone seems either happy of indifferent to the
change, so I'm going to commit the code tomorrow morning.

One addition that has been made is that a channel can now be set
'censored', which goes through the normal censoring code.

Any comments, requests, flames?

I know that splange is unhappy about any work done to get the chat
stuff working better than before. I appreciate that he wants to
make the game a more lively place, but on the other hand I am just
trying to keep what we've got working.

BTW for those who are curious, my next task is to convert context
to use CString/String for the implementation of the hardcode commands.
Fun!

Adrian.

I didn't say I was happy or unhappy with it. I think everyone knows my
opinions by now; don't put words in my mouth (it's already full of them).

You should work on what you want to work on, and do what you think is
right. That's all I do, and all I can ask of anyone else.

Quite.  A relatively crash-free game (as it has been at various points
through its life) will retain more users than one that doesn't work, almost
(note *almost*) no matter what its feature set.
