It was found some time ago that few of IRCnet's ircd's
with +topic module can be rebooted by simply
doing /quote TOPIC !etC (or-whatever !channel)
This has been already mass-abused by 'EvIL MiRkhAx0rZ'
and servers have been patched now... so time for it to go public since there is virtually no more threat left

Have fun kiddz !
