Hi, Since 19 May 2021 the Freenode network has seen a "hostile takeover" where previous volunteering admins lost access to the network. See also this post by a former staff member, Fuchs: https://fuchsnet.ch/privat/fn-resign-letter.txt Since 15 June 2021, the original Freenode network has been destroyed completely, see https://isfreenodedeadyet.com/ The Wireshark community has several places to ask questions, including a Q&A site, a mailing list, and IRC channel according to https://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#_where_can_i_get_help There are also unofficial other places on Reddit and Discord. Given the situation with Freenode, I encourage every IRC user to join the #wireshark IRC channel on Libera Chat. Several other open-source communities such as PostgreSQL, Gentoo, and Arch Linux have already moved. See also https://libera.chat/news/welcome-to-libera-chat For those wondering where I was, my IRC client died over a month ago due to a faulty network interface. I have just restored it and am now in process of moving to Libera Chat. Hope to see you there! -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl On Mon, Jun 14, 2021 at 08:34:02AM -0500, Jason Cohen wrote:

Obviously there is a lot of activity / drama going on there and I've been seeing some rather ugly spam messages in the channel on freenode.
