Those * channels are actually channels that are using the channel mode +p which means the name is hidden from /list. This means that you can only know that there are private channels, just not what they are called. (RFC1459 says they're supposed to be listed as "Prv" or something like that, but I guess all the ircd coders decided to use * and so Unreal followed :P .) |

wops ok sorry :D thanks :D |
|
|
* was decided on over Prv simply because it causes less stuff to be sent. Before SAFELIST, the amount of text sent in /list was a real issue. Just with /who now, you would type /list and you'd get disconnected for flooding. So the idea was, why send 3 characters for each private channel when 1 character can do the same job, and do it at less cost. |
