My reasoning behind logging IRC would be to provide a place
where finding information about bugs, features, websites, etc
on the channel. If someone wanted to look up more information
on a particular subject they could simply click on the log
and go to any particular spot on the wiki or the web to
obtain more information.
What if someone wasn't able to use IRC because they were at
work, or blocked because of parental controls, etc? Providing
a log would allow a person to find out what is happening.
Just a thought.
When the reactos.com site was cracked in July, it left a script which
contacted an IRC channel and got further instructions from there. That alone
is enough for me to disallow any IRC connections from the box.
