can we remove http://searchirc.com/network/I-WWE.NET please?

I highly doubt any thing about this network is real. it popped out of no where and it's currently ranked #7, which is completely unfair to GameSurge (rank #8). Not to mention unfair to everyone else.

thnx.

but it's still listed as a network in the top 10. That's my point. It's ranked #7 even though it's not indexed anymore.

Jason's code usually will not let a network that points to another propagate a channel list on SIRC. We don't delete networks, just mark them as inactive - which I've done. The top networks recalculates once a day. Next time, I-WWE.net will not be listed.

I'm sure everyone that cares about their rank thanks you.

Its not unusual for a network to point its dns to another network. Sometimes it is because they have to go down for a while and want their users to have a temporary home for their channels, sometimes they do it to look bigger than they actually are or push their ranking high on SIRC. In any case, appearing to be the 7th largest network was deceptive to our users and we stopped indexing them until the situation is corrected.
