I feel that users should spend a few mins each month making themselves aware of changes made to IRC.


I couldn't agree more. I also have help popups, and am prepared to send people to the official help channels when myself or anyone else is unable to provide an answer to server related questions. I am aware of all the hard work that most of the admins/IRCops undertake. However, a significant proportion of our chatters are coming into the room via java, and have no clue what IRC is. I am also aware that Webnet is currently updating it's website, but there has been no mention so far of the new default modes on the site.


Never compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.
