Today lilo (the FreeNode network owner) has decided to make one step away in a direction opposite of freedom, and banned all Tor users from the FreeNode network.
Tor ( http://tor.eff.org ) is an open source anonymous gateway system. Many users who are not in the position to be able to use IRC otherwise (such as those who live in countries who do not believe in free speech) now cannot use Freenode any longer. Do we want to use an IRC network that no longer supports freedom? Our only option is to move to another network, such as irc.noderebellion.net or irc.oftc.net. Channels such as #kernelnewbies have already moved to oftc due to lilo's past actions. -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
