botters and bots:
a botter is someone who uses or makes bots

a bot is someone (in the case of IMing) who spams message boards and sends off tons of instant messages to random people, or who you can talk to and they give back programmed answers

Firstly the term Bot is derived from the word Robot
Bot is a generic term and is used to describe an automatom or automated process in both the real world and the computer world.

When the Bots are connected to the IRC(or _Yahoo_) Server the channel(_Rooms_) they join is usually set with various channel modes to restrict access or help stealth the fact that the channel or the occupants of the channel are there. Unreal IRCD which is a popular choice with BotNet Masters covers the channel modes in it's own commands document so I will refer to that rather than do a complete rewrite. here You may notice from the images in the gallery here the modes the channel is set at and be able to quickly reference them from the Unreal IRCD document about halfway down.

Typically the channels will be set with these modes at least.

+s (secret : cannot be seen in channels list)

+u (userlist is hidden)

+m (moderated : a user cannot send text to that channel unless they have operator @ access or +v voice)

+k (cannot enter the channel unless you know the correct key)

Whereas...Yahoo Booter

The person booting you has got a program to do so. They are hitting you with numerous messages which sends your messenger into alert and freezes it. It can do damage to your computer. The only way to stop it that I have found is when in chat rooms set your preferences, Under IGNORE, set it to receive messages only from people on your friends list. That way the potential booter can't hit you.
