this script here that PunkTuReD and i have been working on has been written to ideally go on a channel bot. it is not something that can be easily altered due to its complexity. as for a deop after a certain amount of time script.. all you need to do is include something like if($nick == $me) {halt} else sort of thing so that when the timer expires on your nick it halts.. but on any other op it will continue to run and deop them. but for that.. post your deop script into the forum under mirc snippet requests and ask for an edit to make it ignore you. this is not the place to be talking about that here lol..
