    So a bit like a netsplit in the IRC days. Yes I’m aware IRC is still alive and kicking. 😄

      A net split in the EFNet days ;)

      Man, why don’t we do IRC anymore? It was like the OG federated service…

        We still do sometimes. You’d be surprised by how many IRC channels still exist.

        Hah we use to do channel takeovers with mirc or custom eggdrop bots on splits. Didnt always work but was a fun game.
