[9fans] the #cat-v channel has moved to oftc

[hiro]

freenode has deleted all channel and user accounts, including the
#cat-v IRC channel.

we had already abandoned ship and moved to the oftc network instead,
but now the /topic redirecting users to oftc got deleted.

our websites, the caches, the search indexes still reference freenode
in many places, so i hope you can excuse this message to related
groups to inform you that whatever happens on freenode, it is not us
any more.

the people from #cat-v includes the (dp9ik) dissident plan9 irc kids,
or more recently just the 9front community.

for some of us this is a sentimental moment as we had to also abandon
uriel's IRC memorial. but maybe he would stay with us in other ways
not involving silly computer protocols...

uriel's nickserv password on freenode was "shitnode".

have a great day,
hiro

I'm very sorry to hear about this. Freenode was a big part of my life for about 10 years.

He absolutely will. I've never forgotten Uriel although I haven't been in #cat-v for years.

This reminds me: is the #plan9 channel on oftc the new home of #plan9?

No, it's #plan9 on libera.chat.

The topic in #plan9 on oftc directs users to libera, and has done since
Freenode began to implode.  If there's some way I can make this more 
clear, please let me know.
