What to do when you have a virus
Have a sneaking suspicion that your client is infected with a virus?
Then it will be wise to leave/part all the channels you've joined, and join
#AVA. This will ensure that your chances of being banned from a channel are
minimal, and you will not pose a possible threat to other unsuspecting
users. When you have been checked and cleared of any viruses, you may
continue with your regular chat.

New Network Peak (again!)

Trivia more popular than ever in #Ibiza
#Ibiza has been a very comfortable and relaxed channel over the past few years. Users from all over the world have come and joined us for hours of fun, chat and entertainment. Trivia has been requested by many users and is now in place in the channel. The bot's name is Elven-Lord or Trivia-Master - to play it there are a few simple commands. To start !start … to make a team !Team team-name ... and to answer a question !Guess answer-here.
Just by using trivia the channel has increased from 40 users a night now up to 70 – 80 users. Trivia has been fun and educational, as well as extremely effective on this channel. #Ibiza also has a Stats bot: Sword-master provides stats to users who type !stats on the channel.
