On the opposite I've always had a fast and helpful reaction time on
#opers, while I joined #freenode last week to ask for my seemingly
unused nick to be dropped from NickServ, so I could claim it for
myself, and left after non-helpful comments.

I used to be on #django, on freenode, but someday it was decided the
channel would be restricted to registered users, and I wasn't, and
have not been back on that channel; of course this is a decision they
made, I am sure we would do differently, but still, I like how gimpnet
is known to be open.


I don't want to discuss those particular anecdotes, I mentioned them
only to point out that I'm fine on gimpnet, as it currently stands.
