If you recieve this reply without any additional comments, it is most 
likely you either requested for information about adding your network or 
server(s) to mIRC's servers.ini file, or you provided incomplete 
information, or you didn't stick to the exact format specified below. Most 
proposals and requests regarding the servers.ini state far too little 
information. Very often I have to guess about port numbers or the official 
one-word name of networks. Researching this information on the web consumed 
a lot of my time. Time I'd rather spend on mIRC, the website or helping 
users...  That is why I will no longer proces server list proposals and 
requests that do not contain the detailed information I need. I hope you 
understand this?

Please appoint one person responsible for maintaining a good list of 
servers. If your network is in the list already please be very clear what 
changes you'd like. Send all updates, remarks, questions and hate mail to 
servers@mirc.com. I will not confirm reception of your e-mail. If your 
request was correct and complete you can safely assume I recieved and 
processed it.

HOW TO PROVIDE YOUR INFORMATION?

Stick to the exact format specified below, since I will throw away 
under-specified, incomplete or terribly copy/pasted server lists! Please do 
not send attachments, keep your e-mails short and to the point. I want you 
to start your contribution with a copy/paste ready specification of your 
server(s) in mIRC's servers.ini format, like this;

n001=Networkname: Random serverSERVER:servername:port(s)GROUP:groupname
n002=Networkname: Continent, State, 
CitySERVER:servername:port(s)GROUP:groupname
n003=Networkname: Continent, State, 
CitySERVER:servername:port(s)GROUP:groupname

In this list you should include detailed information on the location of the 
servers, their address and their port range. In a port range you can use 
the - and , like this; 6660-6666,6667,6668,7000-7007. For secure 
connections prefix the port number with a plus sign, eg. +7001.

Specify the servers in order of importance with the random server on top. 
NOT in alphabetical order! At the moment I can not add more then the random 
server (round robbin) of new networks, but I'd like to have complete 
information for future reference! After this specification of your 
server(s) in mIRC's servers.ini format give me all other details of your 
IRC network.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS INFO?

All correct and complete requests are stored in a list with 
candidates.  Once each month I test all servers in the candidate list. 
Candidate networks that have a reasonable amount of users are copied to the 
servers.ini as soon as there is space in this list! Please remember we 
limit the size of the servers.ini file to about 32Kb.

I process the candidate list with a script that connects to all candidate 
networks to check their user base and a few other things. For this to work 
correctly make sure your servers correctly report the name of your network 
in the welcome message (server numeric 1). Set it to the exact name stated 
in mIRC's servers list and vice versa. Like "Welcome to the Blablabla IRC 
Network Krejt". Make sure the "Blablabla" part exactly matches your 
network's name and it's domain name.

DOES THIS MEAN YOUR NETWORK WILL BE ADDED?

No. mIRC's servers.ini can contain about 400 entries. Only if there are 
vancancies in mIRC's servers.ini file, the top networks from the list of 
candidates are added. It doesn't help to send your info over and over, it 
will just get me annoyed.

Best wishes, thanks for your help,

Tjerk Vonck.
