Yeah, but ... how exactly is it going to benefit a DoS script kiddie if
they know that someone is on the same server as them? If they knock that
server offline, then THEY are knocked off Undernet as well, and it's
rather hard to take over a channel if you're not yourself on the network
... (isn't taking over channels the whole reason they DO this? ...)
