Honestly if I was starting again I’d set up a single Oragono[0] instance and be done with it.

Other software might be excellent (inspircd), but it’s a hard sell to bring a new type of server unless it solves a specific problem.

EDIT: Oragono has been renamed and is now this.

Leaving here because the world should bask in my foolishness

Freenode takeover stuff.

It’s a long and drawn out drama.

You’ll have a hard time finding IRC related projects not touched by andrew in some way.

I've noticed some collaboration between shells.com and Linux Mint. Do you know if Andrew is involved or trying to become involved in Linux Mint? I love that distro and community and don't want to see it damaged by this man.

One sure thing is the Linux Mint help channel is not on Freenode (but SpotChat)
