The docs say it&#39;s a simple bouncer that lets you hide many bots and/or =
clients behind a single IRC connection. =A0Benefits?<br>
<br>
If you&#39;re developing bots that crash a lot, you can hide them behind a =
stable proxy that doesn&#39;t annoy everyone with frequent reconnections.<b=
r>
<br>
If you develop a lot of bots, you can put them all behind one IRC connectio=
n. =A0This may keep you from being banned by servers that have low connecti=
on limits.<br>
<br>
If a channel lets you only have one bot, you can cheat. :)<br>
<br>
Other things, only limited by the intersection of the implemented features =
and your imagination!<br>
