Ill admit, i used to think who the hell i was back then, lol
See with a net that size, you had the power to make or break a chan with ease. So we had large movie chans and warez chans eating out of our hands in fear of us dropping a flood on them.
Whats a flood?
Well .. imagine lets say 1k bots cycling in and out of a chan, and dropping colorful text mixed with bold and underlined words .. so fast it locks up your mirc and you get disconnected.
The colors and special characters like bold and underlined were necessary to overload the capasity of the IRC scripts.
Since the bots arent using a script, they dont get overloaded ... hence within a few minutes there is litterally nobody left in the chan, and you take control.
Sounds like a bunch of kid games, and it actually is. .... just a bunch of games, and alot of kids thinking who the fuck they are.
You can also have a botnet cycle a chan and send a msg to everyone in a channel (sometimes as many as 1k people at once) ... this was handy when you wanted to spam a website, or another chan name.
Ok im done with my flashbacks, i better quit talkin bout this before i go and open up my compilers again, LOL!!!!!
