There also seems to have been an uptick in a number of non-commercial but still somewhat spammy users (I hesitate to say, "trolls", but it may be accurate) in some of the various common XSF/software related rooms many of us idle in. Of course, the two may not have anything to do with one another (or I may just be imagining it and it's really it's just one or two very vocal users), but I wonder if there was some media coverage or something that's causing an influx in the network. Have any public server operators noticed a spike in registrations over the last few weeks? —Sam -- Sam Whited pub 4096R/54083AE104EA7AD3 https://blog.samwhited.com
