To All MindForge Users,

After much debate and some soul searching, MindForge has updated its Channel Name Policy. As of the 4th of July, 2009, only Official eMule, eMulePlus and eMuleMorph Channels can use the eMule word in their name : http://www.mindforge.org/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=103&topic=2535.0 (see your language specific boards for translations).

The only “unofficial” channels allowed to use the eMule prefix or suffix have been given an exception for either of the following reasons :

• These trusted channels have existed over a long period of time on the network
• Channel owners have requested an exception for legitimate reasons accepted by the MindForge Team

By the end of this month, all “unofficial” channels will be dropped and forbid automatically for the unfortunate reasons given in the policy statement above, and without any forwarning.

We advise all eMule Users who use its built-in IRC Module to disable in Preferences the filter displaying channels beginning only with #emule-*.

While this policy update breaks with long-standing practice, we do hope it will make your IRC experience more enjoyable and we thank you for your understanding,

The MindForge Team
