Thanks for the stories, my day got better, as they always do. I've been on ef since 94 or so, and have hung out with all kinds of wack jobs, criminally insane and pure evil people. Some saints too, but they're further apart and tend to die or move on. Dianora rings a bell but only in the "the totally a woman on IRC's nickname." kind of way. It is a shame we have to be so obtuse with our identities but we all know why. it may be easy to find us, but might as well make it hard to tie us together.
Yeah, Dianoa was an IRCop. She coded a lot of the server code. She pretty much ran EFnet for years. I dealt with her a lot because for about 3 years I sold Unix shells to people so they could run eggdrops etc. That meant I had to deal with people being banned and misbehaving etc thus I had to deal with IRCops a lot..
Wonder if I ever used your service? I know I've used a few over the years, but it's been awhile. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is still around (has been forever) so that's not you. But I have vague early 2000s memories of a couple different shell services. Ugh memory lane. I'll drop carrier now. It's been a blast. :)
