I'd counter that OFTC is a better network and is free of lilo's method of
running a network, which seems to be alienating anyone who is compitent
and then trying to bring in people who are not in order to prove that he
is the only one who can be trusted to run things.

His need for absolute control is somewhat reminiscent of other tales we
have all heard or experienced, and the man lost all respect in my mind
(which at one point was quite a lot actually) when he started begging for
donations to help pay his bills so he could provide for his family on a
part time job and spend the rest of his time basically sitting on his ass
in front of an irc window all day.

irc.oftc.net is run by many of the people who were responsible for LISC
and then OpenProjects.  (OpenProjects became Freenode at some point when
lilo decided that his goal was to transcend irc and throw RFC 1459 totally
out the window in an incompatible manner..  Most irc clients happen to
work with it still just like most web browsers handle broken HTML..)

irc.oftc.net is a very small net, but it has been growing somewhat slowly
for a couple of years now.  I've known the people running it today as long
as I have known lilo - they're good people and they know what they're
doing.

Re: [eug-lug]IRC

2003-11-17 Thread Linux Rocks !
At one point I belive #euglug was setup, but I dont think anybody really used 
it... There is always #linux,  #distro of choice, and #application of 
choice 

I sometime yack in #linux and #slackware, but Im not always available (even if 
Im logged in)

I would ofcourse suggest using irc.freenode.net for an IRC service, there are 
many #linux's out there...
