AdiIRC

AdiIRC does not send a /who or /whox to any channel because it generates a lot of traffic, the only case where adiirc sends a /who is when "Track away status" is enabled.

Instead AdiIRC relies on https://ircv3.net/irc/#userhosts-in-names and monitoring whois/joins/messages/mode changes and so on.

I checked in mirc and it doesn't seem to send who by itself either, you probably were lucky that the user you checked with $address was already in the list or you have a script that does /who,

There is no need for /ial and /ialclear in adiirc since there is always a ial list and it's always updated when it sees changes, there is no point in turning it off or clearing it.

I have /ialfill on my maybe list.

I agree that AdiIRC uses most clever method than /WHO #channel, and i can see that /names on Freenode doesn't including userhost as other IRCD's so i think you're right here.

But i think /ialclear [nick] and /ial [on|off] commands are good to be included in order you don't want any informations to be saved on memory (useful for old running machines) and if you want to clear a nickname or clear + update the IAL there is not a way now.

Anyway, thanks for response.

Yeah ok, i can understand that AdiIRC is using IAL and in other features and i respect it, also i didn't knew that the size of memory saving is that low, ok then there is really no reason to be these there.

- thanks for response.
