21:19:12 [ lynx`] Is this long enough to drop the channel? :D Contact: andreasen, last seen: 2 years 11 weeks (5h 3m 44s) ago
21:19:22 [ nalioth] lynx`: which channel?
21:19:28 [ lynx`] #bmw
21:19:39 [ nalioth] lynx`: please use ##bmw with our compliments
21:20:03 [ lynx`] Can #bmw be forwarded? :)
21:20:57 [ nalioth] lynx`: probably not
21:21:23 [ lynx`] Darn, there's no drop period for channels like nicknames?
21:21:30 [ nalioth] lynx`: i take it you are not from München ?
21:21:36 [ nalioth] Freenode isn't like other networks.  Our channel guidelines can be found here: http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml lynx`
21:21:47 [ lynx`] I don't know what that is nalioth?
21:21:55 [ lynx`] München ???
21:22:09 [ GPT] München is a city in Germany, IIRC
21:22:16 [ lynx`] Nope
21:22:19 [ nalioth] lynx`: unless you are on the staff of Bavarian Motor Works (headquarted in Munich), you'll likely not get #bmw
21:22:27 [ recon] nalioth: my standards for another network just went down considerably.
21:22:54 [ lynx`] There's no channel for bmw here?
21:23:01 [ lynx`] #bmw isn't active, ##bmw isn't active :P
21:23:02 [ nalioth] lynx`: if you join ##bmw, there will be
21:23:05 [ recon] lynx`: you could try ##bmw.
21:23:23 [ lynx`] I just registered ##bmw
21:26:05 [ lynx`] :)
21:27:05 [ lynx`] I hate people who just make channels and they sit there for 3 years unused
21:28:37 [ nalioth] lynx`: i hate people who register channels that go against the policies . . .
21:29:06 [ nalioth] you see, folks come here from efnet or whatever and _assume_ irc is irc.
21:29:22 [ cal] irc IS irc though
21:29:25 [ nalioth] don't read our policies, just create #me_me_me_and_more_me
21:29:38 [ nalioth] cal: go spend a week on efnet and tell me freenode is the same
21:29:49 [ cal] I don't
21:30:06 [ cal] Freenode has wikis and groups, and best of all, services
