OK, so as far as you have seen, it doesn't have technical problems? Personally, I think all IRC networks have technical problems at some point, but some of Freenode's have been self-inflicted. > If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I thought that the original suggestion was because the opers blanket banned Tor proxies that some use to connect. Myself, I suggest moving away for practical reasons: the opers are accountable to no-one and stomp on dissent. While you can say "they run the servers, it's up to them" it's also up to users where they want to go. Use of irc.oftc.net#gnustep seems up recently. > I don't like the idea of change in general.

OK, I can appreciate that as a reason. -- MJR/slef http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
