I''ve heard of bannnig people out of the net, but banning all users out
of net? I''ve used this freenode now over a year and this is first time
something this drastic happens. Actually anything that conserns me and
my client is under screen 24/7 and i don''t ever stop those if i
don''t
have to (kernel update and reboot pretty much qualifies).

They were being hit by a script kiddie and so decided to redirect the
DNS entry.

I''ve been on freenode for several years now, and this is not the first
time this has occurred.  They do it because they think it''s a clever
way to stop attacks.

I''ve said from the beginning that we should be on OFTC, but no one
listens to me.

Pasi,

Notices I''ve received within the last hour on freenode:

[14:28] -lilo- [Global Notice] We''re doing some cleanup and at some
point will allow new connects again.  Thanks for your patience.

[14:44] -lilo- [Global Notice] Hi folks. New connect access to the
network is available intermittently. Further detail will be provided
from time to time via wallops (
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#networkinfo ) .... thanks!

This may have something to do with what you''re experiencing.

-B

No. I didn''t see that as i do /ignore lilo totally. He''s just
spamming
always some information that _he_ thinks is funny/usefull -> ignore.
That seems to have sometimes side effects, but once in a year ... i can
live with that and continue to ignore all the spam :)
