°ShowDowN PrO° (I told myself not to put
those überlame degree marks to the node title =) is a script for
mIRC, written by [-ShaD-] at °ShowDowN PrO°
SoftWare, Finland.
(Sorry, my head already hurts after writing all this odd
capitalization. =)
It's shareware, and fairly popular and famous among mIRC users.
And, I daresay it's pretty infamous among users of
other IRC clients.
Cool Talkers and Kicks: Spice up your chatting with cool text
styles and kicks.

In earlier versions of ShowDown Pro, people who used the script
tended to, ahem, stand up from among the crowd. They, without
provocation, spammed the channels with weird high-bit characters
and mIRC colors (the latter seems to be a disablable option these
days). In other words, they looked pretty l33t.
What other stuff this script has? Well, feature list lists things
like mass messages, mass invites, built in
portscanner...
It has also some notorious features like war clones, channel
takeover bots, and such. Oh, and the author of this script has used
these features himself in ircnet...
"Editable Spell Checker: Checks your correct spelling and replaces
ackronyms." (sic)

So, this is just the perfect tool for IRC k1dd13z. If you run
EggDrop, there are couple of scripts around that detect ShowDown if
you find some of the users get troublesome =)
