Section 6 – Comments

Is there anything in the application that was not covered and you would like to tell us about ?

IRC servers are often attacked with Ddos attacks. If you are unprepared to accept that your network will get attacked by one of these attacks for even days at a time please reconsider submitting an application. If you do not have direct access to filter out such attacks or do not have the bandwidth to handle even a small attack then you will probably not last long as an IRC administrator.Server administrators who link a server then de-link because of a dDos attack will not be allowed to link another server to NewNet again.
