Re: Disable / Modify text when you connect on server
1. Information about server
that's used by IRC clients to get information about different aspects of the network, such as nickname length, etc.
That means that if you could disable that info you'll break all IRC clients.
2. Version running
That's also useful for users that report issues to their IRC clients developers, etc.
It also helps to know if a bug was already fixed in a later version or not, etc.
3. When is created
That could be an option, but there are other ways to know how long a server is running.
4. how many clients are on server
That's the LUSERS command output.
You can disable it with the set::restrict-commands setting.

Re: Disable / Modify text when you connect on server
Your request really confuses me,
Pegasus lets you know what that huge block of data is used for: as he said....
"1. Information about server

That means that if you could disable that info you'll break all IRC clients."
Do you understand what it means to "break all IRC clients."?
IMHO, It is pointless to run an ircd if people cannot use it? Or Even more dangerous to run one when you don't understand how IRC works?

Re: Disable / Modify text when you connect on server
Oh and the version information on connect is useful as that connection tells the user what is running -
UnrealIRCd-5.2.4, (which by the way was released on 28th January 2022.)
This lets people connecting know that the server is running old and not up to date software
Especially as UnrealIRCd 5 had an End Of Life on July 1, 2023.
It is now completely unmaintained and won't even get security fixes anymore.
Not that many people read that information!

"Obscurity is not security" — a wise man called Jobe
Just to pile on, this block of information is mostly NOT for human consumption, and exists so users client (mirc, kiwiirc) knows what means what.
An example of if you deleted the VERSION output, it would break the client in several ways, i.e. you would not be able to see who is a channel op since then the client has no idea what are the prefixes (~&@%+). So you could op people and the nicklist would not change, nobody would have anything (they would, but your client would be too broken to see it)
Another way the client might break is usually your client will display the network name in tabs and such. This could break as small as not showing the name in the window, but could also completely prevent anything from rendering properly in some clients.

To resume: these blocks are headers used by clients, you have to keep them. And to upgrade your server

Sorry, here is a factual answer: you can't and you must not.
