I had written a semi-lengthy rant about the confusing site Freenode has, the process of getting a registered-yet-left-unused nick I wanted to use unregistered for me, and the overall confusion of the whole deal of registering a channel. But I erased it. The details would be boring.
What I wanted to say is that, as Freenode seems to be the central hub of FOSS on IRC, it's weird that the whole system is as clunky as it is. It's not like they wouldn't have the community and the resources to get a more convenient system coded. Sure, about ten years ago, interfacing with parts of IRC over the web would've seen as overkill. But today, it's just strange. Heck, even I have programmed an IRC bot in PHP, that could communicate with a database or even HTTP-requests if I wanted to.
Anyhow, #lightframe at Freenode is now registered, and it'll probably be the main channel for LightFrame, with a good second at #lightframe @ IRCnet (once my IRCNet server gets out of split-mode and gives ops to newly created channels). Welcome to either.
Update: #lightframe at IRCNet works now too.
