Hi All,

For those of us running MRC, you may want to check in your mystic/data/mrc directory for a file named mrcchat.log.

I've been running this instance of Mystic since May and this file has grown to over 15MB and looks like it contains a transcript of everything said in MRC since since then, regardless of whether I was actually chatting or not.

I can imagine for sysops who have been running MRC longer than I have that this file may be much larger.

I've added a line to my nightly maintenance to delete this file as it looks like the python script doesn't rotate/purge the chat log at all and will just keep growing in size forever.
