Can you try to contact supp...@freenode.net again and work to solve this issue? Continuing this dicussion here won't solve the issue. Please CC me as well; I don't know TOR or use it, so I would be the wrong person to try solve any issues.
To have #savannah q officially on Freenode we would have to change again, [...] That #savannah was moved was a mistake, lets fix that first since it is simple. Then lets work on fixing the TOR issue, as it stands, Freenode supports TOR so `Freenode doesn't support TOR' is not a reason to continuing the mistake. > Saying that Freenode is hostile towards TOR users is harsh, and > untrue. Freenode does support TOR, it may be a bit of a fiddle > since it has been abused; but this is no different than it being > fiddly to access the GNU machines since people abused them and > now we have to use SSH. Bear in mind there was a reason to move from Freenode and it still applies at the best of my knowledge. The problem has been just explained by Ted Smith [1] and the thread has been archived in [2]. I think Sylvain contacted supp...@freenode.net personally; there is further information about the issue with Freenode in [3]. I have not seen these messages so I cannot say anything about their content, could you please send me them? I've seen Sylvain's document, and showed it to a Freenode staffer, and he disagreed with some points made there so we shouldn't assume that this is the current state of things. > Personally, I'd like to see GNU hosting as IRC server. Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate?. I meant that we run our own IRC server on a GNU machine.
