It seems that the net hit 20k users in February 96. An old file shows that in October 96, I had recorded 1726818 server kills, and 16239 operator kills over 137 days. It's difficult to use these numbers as there is no track of the average number of users during that period. They are provided for your information. The number of collisions is unchanged.
Collisions are unchanged but avoided if possible by forbidding some nick changes during splits.
This isn't the best but should be enough for the conclusions I plan to not draw. There isn't much to say, both nets have a different attitude regarding these. About a third of all KILLs on EFnet now come from an operator. I'll try to go a little bit further, but the above is the only certitude. Why EFnet still has so many collisions is something I don't understand.
