Splitted irc/ftp & added jbouncer (19 june 2006)
Several pointson this page:
Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a
wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.
The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). -- Hm2k ( talk) 12:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
The term Bounce in this case is what a Bouncer does, so why is the wiki page called "Bounce (network)" as opposed to "Bouncer (network)"?
hi,
is there a "comparison of irc bouncers" page?
this is apparently quite wanted as many people have asked me about it

Response to 'Some Points' point #5:
Yeah, I think it's saying that when you re-connect to the BNC (simillar to the UNIX/Linux 'screen(1)'), it updates the client to anything which has happened to your connection to IRC while you were "disconnected" or "detached". For instance, if you'd been kicked from a channel, you'd no longer be there, etc.
I think the point about messages the author(s) made was that all the information sent from server to client is stored, not just Private Messages. Also, that some service providers of BNC's don't like to have to cache all that information. It takes a toll on the system after a while, similar to a PC that has too many programs running at once. The performance of the host suffers. Oi2Life ( talk) 01:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Why is only psybnc notable? It's latest release is more than three years old! It's downloaded on average 4 times per day: [1] Other bouncers:
Google results:
(Feel free to look up the other bouncers which were removed, too. I have chosen these because I didn't know the others.)
I think that not only psybnc should be mentioned here. The only reason for its notability seems to be its age... -- 79.204.104.79 ( talk) 07:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Although BNC software such as psyBNC may not be considered notable enough for it's own article, much of this software is notable enough for a mention in this article. You are encouraged to build the list and provide sources for citation and notability. -- Hm2k ( talk) 10:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
To make it easier here's how to find the references:

I am considering removing the FTP section as I don't think it can truly be attributed to this article, especially without any references. If you have any objections, I'd be interested to see at least one reference that can aid what is written. Thanks. -- Hm2k ( talk) 10:46, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
