oh the humanity! seriously folks, if its a public channel, why do you care? IRC has +s/+p modes for a reason, if you don't want your channel public, why on earth is it set that way? I can see why they use tor, I hate networks without hostmask hiding as well, I doubt it was because they were trying to hide the fact that they were bots. As for banning tor, theres tons of other legitimate reasons to ban it, including abuse, I doubt this was the only reason they banned tor, if it was even a contributing reason.
By the way, most airplanes are expensive because of product liability litigation, not because its expensive to make an airplane. I thought it was because there wasn't much of market for planes, considering there are still planes around from the 60s out flying around, I figured people aren't treating planes like cars and actually keeping them up, so no need to buy a new one every few years.... just upgrade what you have. So theres no mass manufacturing going on, to drive the cost down.
