Subject: Why is IRC still around?

I wish it was possible, but it just wouldn't work. The hackers would
move onto the next best chat system, whatever that may be at the time.

For it ever to work, you would need to ban all chat communications and
peer 2 peer on the internet, and thats unlikely to happen, and would
be hard to police.

In the meantime what would you do with the billions of legitimate
users of IRC, IM and P2P?

Tell them to go away as well? I'm anti-malicious hackers, but this
idea just would never work.

Thanks,n3td3v
