IRC Troubles.

[Sheap]

I'm going to have to post in this thread because of problems which have arisen with the IRC channel.

When Zen retired from the forums, he didn't leave IRC right away; he maintained a presence there for a few days. Eventually he left IRC as well. Almost.

For the past few days, he has been stopping in periodically - once a day, or thereabouts, for only a few seconds at a time - and behaving erratically. Kicking/banning people, fiddling with the channel settings, and so on. Tonight, for instance, he stopped in and set the channel to moderated, which makes it so no one can talk, until Graeme or Truper (who also have channel operator abilities, though lesser powers than Zen, who is still the channel owner) show up and fix it.

Like everyone, I appreciate all the hard work and effort that Zen has done for the Dom2 community. It is entirely up to Zen whether he wants to leave, or whether he wants to stay. But if he is not going to participate, he should turn channel ownership over to someone else, and not keep wandering through IRC just to be disruptive.

I know that there are people here who can reach him, and I'd like to ask for them to ask him to stop causing problems. Otherwise, people are going to start looking for a new home on IRC.
