[Asterisk-Users] IRC

[Michael Sandee]

Damn dude, you are a worse troll than me... :P

The fact is, freenode is so laggy with, but not restricted to, nickserv 
registrations... that the thing called "perform" in most irc clients is 
messed up, when using it to join some channels. Which can be useful when 
you are not on a very stable or 24/7 connection, such as dial-up or 
hong-kong based broadband connections ;)

Other than that, it sucks to have it this way... but I know it is a 
problem with the spambots. Having the channel +s might be a better way 
to "fight" spambots, without putting a restriction on the users.
