IRC Rules

1. Please Do Not Ask Hacking Questions(How To Hack Hotmail/AIM/Yahoo/Sub7/etc.)
2. Please Do Not flood the channel(ei. Dont ask a question a bunch of times if someone doesnt answer it)
3. Try to keep a posative mannor and attitude, If a newbie comes in and asks a stupid question explain to him that hes asking a stupid question and try to direct him differently.
4. Please use an English Font.
5. Do Not Clone.
6. Do Not Advertise/SPAM.
7. No Bots allowed in the main Channel, You want to test a bot create your own channel.
