NetBeans IRC channel on freenode

[Glenn Holmer <ce...@kolabnow.com.INVALID>]

The NetBeans IRC channel over on freenode has been getting relentlessly
spammed for days. Is anybody watching over that channel?

I'd be willing to take it over; I'm a long-time IRC user and have run my
own channel for a couple of years now (about 50 users).

I’m an admin of it. I can certainly make you one. Just email me directly with the correct IRC username. Either way, note this is not a trivial issue to solve. Whoever is doing it is using a TOR or something, and their IPs are changing as well was their user names. See https://freenode.net/news/spambot-attack <https://freenode.net/news/spambot-attack> Hopefully the jerk will be stopped, and is affecting multiple IRC channels.

Thanks,

Wade
