Documentation

IdlerBot's only purpose is to spawn multiple idler clones in your channel. The number of clones that can come from one IP is restricted by the IRC network, so please check your IRC network rules before spawning too many clones, or you will simply be denied to log on to your IRC network. Idlerbot supports clones in multiple channels, if they are space separated in the property file. Please note that some IRC network prohibits clones, and it can result in network ban.

Open Source and is released under the GPL license.
