Having read the foregoing, and as a regular reader of this list, along with my colleague. If there are issues regarding channels being locked on a network etc, and no-one is willing to do something constructive to enable free chat again, then as my colleague and I also run an Irc network (albeit very small) we would be more than willing to host a #nanog channel on it, if this would prove of benefit to the list members etc.. Our network is certainly capable of handling in excess of 1500+ chatters at any one time. Any one who may be interested in this as a possible solution, please let me know off-list or discuss amongst yourselves and see what you feel would be the best solution for you.

Otherwise Rob is going to lock it and foward it to ##nanog. I have that chan, and am perfectly willing to give it up to somebody more involved with nanog, but I'm hoping one of the committee members steps in so we don't go through some B.S. stuff like lilo likes to do (sorry, bad dealings with him from past, ignore my distaste for him) Kyle Albert Meyer wrote:
I briefly contacted the previous maintainer of #nanog on freenode but he seems to have dropped out of sight again. We can talk in the channel now but nobody has ops. I am emailing him again today; if he doesn't respond, and if there are no objections, I'll work with freenode to get the channel resurrected. If anyone wants to object, please do so now.

I've been watching the list, saw some posts, but nothing definite has been done, is there another place besides efnet where competent people are joining to chat on topic? Otherwise I would love to see people on freenode or oftc
