Oh man, those were some fun days.

I remember taking over a top 10 channel on Efnet because the owner went on holidays and forgot to get someone to keep their account active.

Ha, I imagine it would have been almost a fulltime job to prevent takeovers on large Efnet channels!

It took an army of eggdrop bots for me and Kyle to hold #games on Efnet for years.
