Project Yourself On Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

We've revamped our web site and [Slashdot] readers might want to take a look. The new project is called Mister Toad's Wild Ride." As a satisfied "customer" of OPN, I have to say this sounds like a great move -- OPN is one of the friendliest IRC environments I've ever seen, and is always a good source of #help. Read the documents to see the dilemma that Rob (lilo) and the other volunteers at OPN are facing, and to learn about their ambitious plan to grow without sacrificing the community feel (or becoming DoS fodder). And more to the point, help! Technical skills, money,and even moral support would be appreciated, I bet.

    Toby,

    You're right that the hostname and IP should probably be hidden, it's on our TODO list. Though it will take some work to do that without causing inconvenience to the users. Uh, by the way, we need a bit of help finishing those patches from people with time on their hands, the urge to contribute, and hybrid-6 experience. :) Anybody who is interested, please check the site....

    Thanks,


    Rob L.
