A lot of users don't know what IRC is, a lot of users can't be bothered, or think it's insecure (correctly!), but would have a look around on opennet. A lot think connecting to your friends is less secure than connecting to random opennet folk (i.e. the [favourite bogeyman]), an unfortunate but very common misconception. Once they get onto the network, a lot don't find any interesting content, don't find Frost, find the speed underwhelming, or the lack of searching, and leave; most of them don't uninstall (partly because we don't ship an uninstaller yet, this will be corrected!), but they don't keep it up to date either, resulting in the node falling behind, and they don't use it. > > sich -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
