You have no idea what you are talking about. I respect the fact that you were around during the infancy of efnet, however it is not that easy to patch against DDoS attacks. There isn't a whole lot you can do when you have 3gbit coming down a 100mbit or 1gbit pipe. The cluephone is ringing... pick it up, I'm certain it's for you:P

EFnet is not going down in flames. Our global user count continues to grow. As we speak we have 2 brand new servers being setup to link to our network, one of them is at uu.net. We have an automated services that keeps channels from becoming opless, and allows irc admins to 'restore' the original ops in a chan should something happen. Much more is to come as well... I don't at all consider us "going down in flames"
