By admins on IRC I mean the IRC operators. i.e. the people who run the server itself. Not by people who do not have the ability. i.e. regular users, or just ops in the channel. Remember those people I said who pay money out of pocket in one of the posts after your OP? Those guys. (google what is an IRC operator?) they can see your IP address because what if a user is misbehaving, they have to be able to ban you in some fashion. The same way you would ban the user from a wikia itself. By IP address. To the regular users, and even Timeoin himself on the IRC won't see your IP.
