[@mquin] it's been closed, partly for the reason you've observed
[chrono] observed?
[chrono] what do you mean mquin
[@niko] probably the welcome messages sent to every user ?
[chrono] that's literally the point of #/join
[@mquin] chrono: "there's never been any channel operators"
[chrono] yes #/join has always been a gimmick channel, and there was literally a bot doing the same thing in it for years
[chrono] as on every other network he's been ran on.
[chrono] did the message offend you niko ?
[chrono] i'm pretty sure everyone had a laugh that joined the channel, over the course of a decade there's only been a few people who've gotten mad enough to ddos the bot
[@el] greeting people by telling them they are gay is not behaviour becoming of the type of user we want on this network.
[chrono] you and everyone else who joined that channel chose to join it
[chrono] no one forced it upon you
[@el] that doesn't change that it's not a channel we want on the network.
[chrono] literally 4 freenode operators idled in it
[chrono] for a year and laughed to
[chrono] lol nice logic
[blazeme8] why el? gay isn't an insult
