dc++ Importuning and intrusive chat window

Hi,
i dont know how simple user could connect because last time i did, it was after importing some .xml.bz2 file manually, maybe you set it auto in 2.7.9.0.
when dc++ is enabled, upon connection it opens a chat window with a long list of users:
- it is not Shareaza IRC (and not even IRC)
- misformatted text probably written in russian
what's annoying is that you are forced to join that chat, and what is more annoying is that whenever you close that window it will repon automatically so you cant quite that window.
why shareaza users have nicknames shareaza[numbers] ?
i am sure you faced this situation before, otherwise i can supply screenshots.
Please fix that annoying issue a lot of users complained about it.

It is how DC++ works, this is not a bug or problem with Shareaza.
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/gallery.html
You connect via a chatroom and share links and info with a group of like-minded people.
This is why the hubs have themes and are in different languages.
Look through the list to find one in your language, but you will notice that the hubs with most people connected are Russian.

Basically:
Connect to a big noisy hub for random access to more files, or connect to a small quiet hub in your language if you have a shared project to work on.
