Yet, I had to enter a valid email address to register for the #fpc IRC channel, and confirm its valid. So there goes that theory of yours. :-) My preference is still good old NNTP (newsgroups). * Doesn't require registration * Doesn't require a valid email address * Users are free to use any News Client they prefer, with the feature they want/need. * History of conversations can be stored forever - no loss of information (the internet is fragile enough already) * Past messages are searchable (an ever growing knowledge base) Hence I've been hosting newsgroups for some open source projects for well over a decade now.
