Talk:DALnet

message: Hit return prematurely in the summary field, so here's the rest of the rationale:
I've often seen DALnet capitalized this way; redirect might be useful. I believe it would be the "correct" way to CamelCapitalize "DALnet," since the word is "DAL" + "Net", not "DA" + "Lnet."

The official documentation states that it should be DALnet, not DALNet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.128.112.144 (talk) 02:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

message: why does this channel not mention that dalnet is using the easily fakeable ident service for "security" which does not work for most people that are using modern wifi/dsl routers? this is surely a reason why a whole lot of people left dalnet too...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.61.9.75 (talk) 16:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Another big reason for people leaving DALnet was the FBI investigating child porn swapping services, and thus they shut down DCC service.  A large userbase of irc is DCC for porn, music, movies, and warez.  As such, a large amount of people left to other servers. 24.61.24.177 06:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: haha.  this network steadily shrinks all the time, it has abusive ircops, intrusive bot scanning that routinely kicks people it suspects of having a trojan or malicious script with very little prejudice .. too bad there's few long term studies on the population of this network because it's assuredly dying. 75.92.47.248 (talk) 22:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Well irc.netsplit.de have a graph that shows a peak in users in 2002 then the massive dip in early 2003 (which IIRC was caused by massive DDOS), then a partial recovery in 2003, then a period of stability then a decline in the last couple of years http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/details.php?net=DALnet&submenu=years.

text: My last edit should have brought the article more up to date with the relevant numbers. The steady stable state after their turmoil seems to have ended by 2009, going into a steady decline instead. The related articles mentioning the historic 'big four' and present 'big five' or whatever should also be updated. VoidLurker (talk) 16:00, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  neither growing nor shrinking appreciably? 

message: The image included says it's of a Macintosh running irssi, but to me it seems clear the monitor depicts an Apple II
I believe the image itself is actually depicting an Apple IIc connected to a Mac's terminal on which irssi is being run. While the caption would accurately represent what's doing on, it would be as inaccurate as showing a firefox screenshot of a web page and caption it as "apache server running on a Linux machine".
I believe the original screenshot might come from here or might be a similar set-up to this:
