I'd just like to express my support for using IRC on the current lojban.org. It's the first IRC server that hasn't given me an "airport security" type runaround every time I try to connect. By this I mean that most IRC servers will "detain" my connection for around a minute when they discover that I don't run ident (and, in fact, I can't, not to mention the fact that ident is entirely useless now because of things like the fake ident built into mIRC). Eventually they grudgingly let me through despite my failure to meet their l33tness standards. I don't remember whether OpenProjects does this. I do remember encountering lots of lag in connecting there, either way. I'm glad to be away from this stupidity. -- la rab.spir noi sarji zo gumri
