>it is stable

Uh oh... I feel some discussion about that coming on...
Okay, nevermind... Just because it is hackable, disconnects people at will, unmoderated, etc...

>my copy of mirc was set up for it.

mIRC only saves servers, not rooms. Unless of course you setup auto-join stuff, but if that's the case, you could have just as easily setup a #Lecture ajoin.

I'm really not trying to be an ass here. It just seems to me that maybe this stuff wasn't thought out, and now it is an issue. I don't know why. Maybe you guys didn't expect IRC to be popular or even used. But it is.
Can we please manage it again? Pretty please? =)
