Sorry. It's just a necessary part of running an IRC network. You're
free to use secure proxies and BNCs if you wish to hide your IP --
Although the network does have hostmasking enabled.*

What makes this network any different than the 600+ that already
exist? http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/

Also in my opinion, mibbit is horrid, qwebirc or iris (fork/branch of
qwebirc) is better.

I read this as DTFChat, which is probably the opposite of the chant
environment you're hoping to create.

cool. will check it out sometime.

"It's just a necessary part of running an IRC network" - well that's
not entirely true. In my experience I think it is best to let channel
bots take care of that sort of thing. If OPs in a channel want to
block TOR/proxies then let them write/download and connect up a bot.
Some IRC users have legitimate reasons why they need to use an open
proxy/tor to connect.

If people have a legitimate reason for using a proxy they can use a
BNC (there's PLENTY of free BNC providers...or it's easy and cheap
enough to get a server to run your own BNC) or a closed proxy.

"Open" proxies are insecure and easily abused.
