So gitlab @ common-lisp.net is down right now, and I'm not sure to whom I can report this.

Xach, memo from phoe_: http://paste.lisp.org/display/356788 <- What do you think of this? It's surprisingly small.

woah, woah, WOAH. Periods in channel names?

dlowe: Channel names can have any ASCII character except space, bell, nul, cr, lf, or the comma in it.

Shinmera
At least if anyone actually followed the RFCs.

I'm surprised we don't see a lot more domain names as channels.

Shinmera
Shorter names usually win over fancy characters, I guess.

20 years ago people played jokes on irc newbies telling them to join #2,000 or somesuch, and upon trying, their irc client (mIRC) would part the current channel
14:42:27
dlowe
that's an odd failure mode
14:44:37

maybe it was kept so the joke could keep going ;)

it should have been #9,001 imo

(i agree, that's a weird way to react when asked to join a nonexistent channel)

Not sure what one would expect in a channel called #cracking4newbies...

jdz: it used to be the go-to place for people interesting in reverse engineering :)
