[Asterisk-Users] IRC

[Brian K. West]

We set +s for more than a day the spam bots kept coming... So +s wasn't
working.  We did -s so you could atleast see the channel topic telling you
to register.

I added it back today but that doesn't solve the problem.  And you didn't
break my bubble you just were not there to see that +s didn't do a damn
thing.
