disable Ping on connect message

Is there a easy way to turn off the "If you are having problems connecting due to ping timeouts, please type /quote pong 45C45823 or /raw pong 45C45823 now." message when a user connects?

Compile without nospoof on linux

On windows... No, there isnt, nospoof is very important

what exactly does nospoof do, and how would i compile without it?

It is a option in ./Config [edit: off by default]

It prevents IP spoofing (Unnessecary on nix I think) and HTTP proxy clone attacks

Correct. Assuming you are not using an >4 year old OS: Linux, FreeBSD and stuff are all safe.
Windows is absolutely not and I can spoof "any" IP I want within a few seconds till a few minutes depending on my connection speed :P.
