What happened to ##proggit

gistfile1.rst

You're probably wondering why we're in #proggit and not ##proggit (which redirects you to #anime).

The short version is that the internet is full of drama. The longer version goes like this:

We've never really had full control of ##proggit to begin with. ##proggit was started a long time ago by some other folks, who have since left the channel to do other things. So the people that remained fought it out amongst themselves and the victorious Sixthgear remained. He has been the de-facto leader of ##proggit, despite not having actual control over the channel (he had to defer to someone else to get ops added or removed, etc).

In any case, the ##proggit owner rejoined the channel recently, and decided to ban everyone, removed all ops, and set the channel to redirect to #anime. I can't say for certain the reasoning behind this, but you can come to your own conclusion based on the last logs.

Can we save ##proggit? Probably not. Despite the owner being gone for years at a time from the channel, there is no way to take ownership. Freenode just doesn't do that.

Can we redirect ##proggit to #proggit or put a notice on #anime? We'll try to contact owners of #anime, but we have no power over those two channels. A few of us are going to sit in #anime and try to direct people to the right place.

What can I do? Just be a cool dude and be nice to the people around you. The internet needs less drama.
