"Back in the day, I ended up IP banned from the whole of free node because my internet connection was flaky while I was away, and I ended up banned for spamming join/quit messages. " Ouch. I feel you there. Intermittent connectivity can truly suck. I've had issues like that before. I try not to connect to IRC in situations like that. but these issues can often be resolved with a Bouncer. like, I was beginning to wonder why you were saying what you said. I was going to be like what do you need logging or such? I honestly prefer the logging situation on IRC. People will expect you to read the entire backlog on discord. Discord is indeed free of cost which could save enterprises money I suppose. The ocst of maintaining a BNC for networks that don't offer it for free can get high. Running ZNC was beginning to cause hash ocean to ask me for over 100 a month. But Rizon and the networks I use most frequently run their own free of cost that provides permannence so you get your backlog.
