Well....as I've said before...I don't expect Cannabis.com to open a server, I suggested they affiliate themselves with an already popular network...I wouldn't pay for the extra bandwith you're right, but then again, I have to pay for my own bills long before I'd pay for a websites. I know I'm new here, but that doesn't make my opinion any less valued, why should it? If I honestly didn't care about the site, why would I even suggest this, and do the research I did? I'm a big supporter of open source software, you'll find that I'm very anti-capitalist and commercialism. It's not my limited funds that prevent me from paying, but also, I don't believe people should have to pay for services rendered on the internet, I believe the fee we pay to our ISP should cover that...

Now, as to the File transfer thing, that's hardly an issue for the chat, people have the ability to disable or enable CTCP (Client to Client Protocol) file transfers with every IRC client i've ever used...Security is hardly an issue if you know what you're doing...It's the same issue with anything in relation to a networked computer, as long as you know what you're doing, you're safer than most. As for "Dropping a trojan", please...be real here...I've been an IRC user for almost 7 years now...I've been friends with computer hackers, and network administrators ever since I started using IRC. People honestly don't prowl IRC, looking for people like you, to hack. Honestly, what makes you think you're important enough to attract the attention of a hacker? These people you refer to aren't true hackers, they are script-kiddies, who use other people's software, and research, to "hack"...

As to the chat not being an issue as of yet, I find that hard to believe, I already answered on a thread that was related to someone's problem loading the Java Applet. Java is an unreliable means for chatrooms in my opinion, if you want to talk about security, I think we should address Java exploits! :P

Besides the obvious issue here, I want to address concerns, a lot of people have agreed with me on this matter, and I don't suggest we give up the web-based chat completely at all! A web-based IRC-link can be used on site, and those of us who use IRC clients, can connect via a way that would benefit us...

I understand your arguement, and I wanted to make it clear I wasn't talking about running your own server! I've been there, it's a difficult and rather tedious process, hardly worth the attention. I suggested that we use an already established network, to host a #Cannabis.com channel, If you truely look at the ParaChat software, I don't see how you can so completely oppose the idea.
