Edit:

Additional channels taken over by Freenode Staff:

#irssi

#reprap

#regex

#ubuntu

#wikipedia

#gcc

Looks like it's widespread. Won't be editing further.

They also semi-affected #system76. I still have ops in the ACL, but there was a new ## opened (which is invite-only) and they added themselves to the ACL.
