I recently was installing mIRC - everyone's favorite IRC client.
And in the install menu something unexpected happened.
You can now install it with out the default server list?!
You guys know the server list right? When we install mIRC we all act like this:
OH BOY! I can't wait to see the giant and pointless server list that mIRC is going to shove down my throat.
I'll go around connecting to random & abandoned networks that I have absolutely nothing in common with, because it's fun!
Once I realized this is not an illusion I shed a tear and gently, but swiftly unmarked that fucker.
I cheerfully finished the installation, started mIRC.exe and opened the server list with a smile to add my shit in.
And saw this...
I froze. I released a small *sight* and closed mIRC.
"I'm not going to waste my time pushing that gay ass button to clear it. I'm going to get rid of the list quickly." I said.
Went to the program's directory, located servers.ini and killed it irrecoverably.
I didn't just fucking delete it, I ERASED it - every single cursed bit of the shitty file was turned to straight 0's.
Then I came back to mIRC and opened the the server list. And it was still there... I closed mIRC opened my browser and surfed the internet for answers.
I somewhere read that the server list is placed in the program registry. I opened registry editor and completely removed mIRC's interface. "This should be it" - I said.
Once again I opened mIRC praying to god that the list is gone. I closed my eyes before clicking "Select server...".
When I opened my eyes, I saw something that came to my surprise...
IT WAS STILL THERE!!! FUCK YOU MIRC!!!!! GHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!Feeling defeated in the war I waged, I slowly deleted each server one, by one.
After a few minutes of bullshit. It was done. It was gone. But so was my dignity.
