Re: POCO IRC Proxy plugin

The docs say it's a simple bouncer that lets you hide many bots and/or =
clients behind a single IRC connection.  Benefits?

If you're developing bots that crash a lot, you can hide them behind a =
stable proxy that doesn't annoy everyone with frequent reconnections.

If you develop a lot of bots, you can put them all behind one IRC =
connection.  This may keep you from being banned by servers that have =
low connection limits.

If a channel lets you only have one bot, you can cheat. :)

Other things, only limited by the intersection of the implemented =
features and your imagination!
