egghelp/eggheads community

After 3 frustrating days trying to learn eggdrop I gave up and wrote my own Java pircbot. It's very simple but it does what I want and all our users behave nicely.

Thanks for the support, all. I am sure I will be back to eggdrop when I need a cleverer bot.

but that won't show you what happened before you logged in.

True, but pretty cool all the same.
If I could make this work in IRC with direct messages, I would be sorted.

I want users to be able to ask the bot for the last n messages or the last n minutes or hours of messages. This would be a logging, and *recall* bot. I have tried searching for history, recall, and replay. I have not found anything. Do you know of such a script? What should I search for to find this...
