IRC - Mibbit
Its Firefox's fault that Mibbit is the default IRC handler.
 * That, good sir, is why Chatzilla was made. -- J S a g e r t 17:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't forget about other wonderful clients like Xchat. I'm sure that as more people see this discussion page, they will list their favorite clients. -- Captain Canuck 18:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Email Protection
To protect your email from spam while being displayed in the contact list, often it is suggested to change the "@" symbol to "[at]" or "[at symbol]" and the "." to "[dot]". This may not be enough since any script-kiddie can google search: "nospam gmail.com".

Instead, it would be better to hide your email behind a captcha using ReCaptcha to generate a long URL then by using TinyUrl or another URL shortener.
 * Or... you know, get a decent spamfilter. I, for one, will leave my email as is. -- J S a g e r t 19:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
