285551 2004-11-08 23:21:00 I just dislike web based chatrooms, from my experience IRC clients are less resource hungry and offer more options. Web based chatrooms feel less responsive and often far more dependant on internet bandwidth. Pete O'Neil (250)
285552 2004-11-08 23:25:00 Yeah IRC would be nicer, however maybe less secure.

The Chat F1 is web based only, and doesn't seem to like Firefox in that it flickers during each refresh and the new chat is at the top of the page, rather than the bottom. Works ok in *cough* IE though.

There *is* an F1 IRC server you know... :)... FAQ 75 (or was it 65) can tell you all. AFAIK the security level should be the same - both transmit data in a non-encrypted fashion, but in both cases the data goes straight from client->server->client.

285558 2004-11-20 03:23:00 That is, unless there's an evil hacker tapping the lines....

But what I was meaning is, neither one is more or less secure than the other (except for Chill's invisible encrypted secure IRC server of course).

Cheers George

285559 2004-11-20 03:44:00 I would debate that still.... Traffic usually goes through a good several hops before reaching said destination:

285560 2004-11-20 03:45:00 Hmm.... That didnt turn out quit as well as it should have.

Regardless, that was a traceroute between myself and Google... That's where/who it goes through to get to Google.

Is your server Off-shore?
