I don't recall sending you a copy. If you got it from jimcbrown, keep in mind he had buggered it. The copy i had been sending out logged onto dalnet, freenode, and sorcery, even all 3 at the same time. It worked.
Well, I'm surprised that you tested it with freenode, considering you didn't register your nick there until 2008 - well after I had discovered the bug in YOUR CODE that made it unable to connect to freenode.
You know you can connect on most nets with no registration at all?
This is generally true, but I do recall periods where this was not true for freenode. (Some kind of spambot problem, so only registered users who authenticated during the connection process (instead of thru nickserv) could logon iirc.)
It was related to the whole chat.freenode.net mess...
I visited several irc nets back then. I bet if you visit any place i have been, including sorcerynet, every old nick and channel i had has expired, as if <gasp> they were never registered.
That's a good point. It still seem surprising to me, since it'd mean that you used freenode at one point, then left, then returned later, whereas I generally stay off a network for good if I choose to leave it.
When did i register on dalnet?
I don't think I've ever been there, so I wouldn't know. Heck, I wouldn't know if they even support nick registration.
