I wonder if this is a sign that freenode is returning to their old ways http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/01/29/buy_a_piece_of_net/

I don't think it will sink to what it was when lilo still lived. I find it funny that article calls him "professional online beggar", because he was way worse than that. Not that the network was better handled after his disappearance though.

Thanks for that! After all, it's not properly a comment thread about freenode until a newly registered account turns up to piss on our founder's grave.

I didn't know lilo was no longer with us. That sucks...

I'd piss off on your founder's grave using my 14-year old account on freenode, but that would just get me k-lined.

Well, no. All your old opers left because money from donations keeps disappearing. Your new opers probably don't even know how to apply a k-line and rely on that supybot you have to administer the network. I'm safe.
